Conor McGregor reveals potential opponent if he enters the BKFC ring
Conor McGregor has hinted at a potential future in bare-knuckle boxing, and he's already identified a possible opponent: former UFC lightweight Jeremy Stephens.
McGregor, who recently became a part-owner of the Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship, has expressed interest in testing his skills in the brutal sport. Stephens, known for his aggressive fighting style, could be a formidable opponent for McGregor in a bare-knuckle match.
In an interview with SunSport, 'The Notorious' said:
"You know, the fight never happened. So it's just about getting the fight on."
The two fighters have a history, dating back to their time in the UFC. At a press conference in 2016, McGregor famously mocked Stephens, remarking about him, "Who the f**k is that guy?" The phrase has become a popular meme and has followed Stephens throughout his career.
While a McGregor vs. Stephens fight in BKFC is not guaranteed, it's certainly a possibility that could excite fans of both MMA and bare-knuckle boxing.
