McGregor Claims BKFC Ownership, Teases WWE Signing as Feldman Details Risky Bet

The push spotlights BKFC's crossover strategy alongside the founder's admission of mortgaging his house to fund a past card.

Overview

  • Conor McGregor told DAZN he "owns" BKFC and said he wants to compete there, reinforcing his public role as both promoter and prospective fighter.
  • He teased introducing a heavyweight "WWE Superstar" to BKFC without naming the athlete, with outside speculation pointing to Bobby Lashley that remains unconfirmed.
  • BKFC founder David Feldman said on The Ariel Helwani Show he mortgaged his house to stage BKFC 41 in Denver and described a potential multibillion‑dollar exit for the promotion.
  • Feldman floated Mike Perry, Nate Diaz, and Jorge Masvidal as potential opponents for a McGregor BKFC debut, as Perry headlines BKFC 82 against Jeremy Stephens this weekend with expected attendance of 11,000–12,000 despite a competing UFC event.
  • McGregor is still bound to a two‑fight UFC contract, has discussed facing Michael Chandler, and recently demanded $100 million plus 100 U.S. "Golden Visas" for a proposed White House card.
