Conor McGregor summons gods to turn ‘knuckles to knives’ during impassioned (and late) BKFC promo

Conor McGregor does as Conor McGregor wants, and that includes being late to almost every major press event.

That was no different Thursday during the BKFC KnuckleMania 5 news conference in Philadelphia. McGregor, a member of the promotion’s ownership group, unsurprisingly was running on his own time.

“Oh, Philly,” McGregor said. “Sorry I’m late. I don’t give a f*ck. I’m the big boss around here. Philadelphia, what’s up? I’m here to summon the gods of fighting into action. May they turn our combatants’ knuckles to knives. And on Saturday night, may we all bleed in the honor of Philadelphia’s rich fighting history. May we, as Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship’s organization, the alien of combat sport, rise above the night’s sky and rain down blows viciously, and prove our worth against any deniers.”
