Conor McGregor Declares to Feldman: “I WILL FIGHT”
McGregor’s Words to the BKFC Founder After Knucklemania V
The Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship (BKFC) showcased its premier event, Knucklemania V, on Saturday in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The night featured a highly anticipated main event pitting former UFC stars Eddie Alvarez and Jeremy Stephens against each other. Held at the iconic Wells Fargo Center, the fight proved to be an intense battle. After three hard-fought rounds, Stephens emerged victorious via TKO in the third round, cementing his place as a dominant figure in BKFC.
In addition to the dramatic bouts, one of the standout personalities of the night was Conor McGregor, the Irish UFC fighter and part-owner of BKFC. Known for his charisma and sharp words, McGregor delivered a fiery speech at the pre-event press conference. Throughout the event, he participated in interviews and fueled speculation about his increased involvement in BKFC.
McGregor’s Direct Message to Feldman
During the post-event press conference, BKFC founder David Feldman shared his thoughts on the successful night and outlined plans for the organization’s future. Feldman revealed a surprising interaction with McGregor that occurred as they left the arena. According to Feldman, McGregor appeared adamant about stepping into the BKFC ring.
“While leaving the arena, Conor tapped me on the shoulder and told me to share this: he will fight Jeremy Stephens in BKFC. That’s what he said. I can’t confirm if or when it happens, but that’s what Conor told me,” Feldman stated during the press briefing.
This revelation has sparked widespread speculation about whether McGregor is genuinely preparing for a bare-knuckle debut or if the comment was simply another instance of his trademark bravado.

Recent Struggles and Career Uncertainty
McGregor’s competitive future has been surrounded by uncertainty. His last appearance in the Octagon was on July 11, 2021, at UFC 264. That fight ended in a brutal leg injury during his trilogy bout with Dustin Poirier. Since then, McGregor has been involved in numerous rumored matchups, including a potential boxing bout with Logan Paul, which McGregor claims fell apart due to UFC-related contractual issues.
Despite this, McGregor remains active on social media and in the public eye, continuing to hint at various comebacks. His declaration regarding Stephens has raised questions about whether he plans to switch gears to BKFC, where Stephens is already a prominent figure. Fans and analysts alike are now eagerly awaiting any official announcements.
Legal Issues Add to McGregor’s Challenges
Outside the fight world, McGregor has faced significant legal troubles. In 2024, the High Court in Dublin ruled against McGregor in a sexual assault case dating back to December 2018. These developments have further complicated his return to professional competition.
What’s Next for the Irish Superstar?
As one of the biggest names in combat sports, McGregor’s next move remains unpredictable. While his claim of fighting Stephens in BKFC has drawn significant attention, it remains unclear whether this is a serious plan or another headline-grabbing statement from the Irishman. What is certain, however, is that McGregor’s involvement in BKFC continues to grow, both as a fighter and part-owner.
