Conor McGregor comes across as quite passionate about BKFC, but the part owner of the bare bones boxing outfit was curiously spotted liking a social media post aimed at Alberto Blas leaving the promotion. BLAS left the company as their reigning bantamweight champion and the undefeated bare knuckles, since crossed over to BKB Bare Knuckle Boxing, where he won his debut and kept his streak of first round finishes.
In the wake of BLA’s announcing he was signing with BKB, BKFC’s partial owner Conor McGregor enjoyed an Instagram post regarding BLAS switching from one-gloves fight promotion to BKFC’s rival.
There was also a widely circulated photo of Blas and Conor McGregor in the ring after the Cuban fighter’s latest BKFC title defense. When asked about McGregor liking a post that focused on Blas’ departure from BKFC as their then-champion, Blas said,
“You know, I think Conor [McGregor is] The businessman, you know. Conor knows what kind of things you should do for money for your family, you know. Doesn’t matter if I am [on] one side [or if] I’m the other side, Conor knows I’m the big athlete, you know. That guy recognizes me, what kind of things can I do in BKFC before and now I’m going to do in BKB, you know. Yeah, I have nothing left to talk about, anything. Yes, move forward. That’s it, move forward. “
Conor McGregor could welcome another prolific BKFC fighter leaving the fold, post-BKFC 82
Conor McGregor emphatically told Mike Perry at a recent press conference That if he didn’t perform this weekend, that ‘platinum’ would receive his walking paper from Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship. Perry will throw down with Jeremy Stephens for the title of King of Violence in the former’s hands. This bout headlines BKFC 82 on Saturday, October 4, in the promotion’s first foray into New Jersey.
McGregor praised this as one hell of a fight, saying how he was ‘absolutely undecided’ on who could pull it off. Regardless of who it is, ‘The Notorious’ has some history with both fighters, and McGregor has claimed several times that he wants to throw down with the Victor in the BKFC ring one day.
