Conor McGregor shared his enthusiasm about the idea of Justin Gaethje switching from MMA to bare-knuckle boxing. As a new part owner of the Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship (BKFC), McGregor sees the BKFC as a fresh and challenging opportunity for fighters seeking a change. In a recent interview with TheMACLife, McGregor expressed his excitement at the possibility of top fighters like Gaethje competing in bare-knuckle boxing.
McGregor stressed his preference for fighters transitioning to the BKFC rather than moving to a different MMA organization. He specifically mentioned Gaethje’s potential move to bare-knuckle fighting as something he finds particularly thrilling compared to sticking to traditional MMA. With former MMA stars such as Luke Rockhold, Chad Mendes, and Mike Perry already in the BKFC, there are also rumors circulating about the possible addition of former UFC champion Robbie Lawler to the promotion.
The BKFC is gaining momentum and attention, providing a unique platform for fighters to demonstrate their skills in a different and exciting environment. McGregor’s support for Gaethje considering a move to bare-knuckle boxing contributes to the growing interest in the sport.
