Conor McGregor may participate in BKFC after UFC.

On Thursday morning, Conor McGregor attended the BKFC press conference in Marabella, Spain. As a part-owner of the promotion, he appeared as a special guest and answered questions from the media members and audience.

During the press conference, McGregor revealed that he has two fights left on his UFC contract and plans on competing in the BKFC next.

"I have a bit of business left with the Ultimate Fighting Championships - two fights left on my contract. But for sure - we have three lightweights up here on the dais and I have my eyes on all of this. I'm not up here just as an owner."

McGregor is currently nursing a broken toe that forced him out of the scheduled UFC 303 fight against Michael Chandler.

"The whole thing is bananas" - Joe Rogan on the Donald Trump shooting

Joe Rogan has spotted a series of red flags that do not quite add up in the shooting incident that nearly cost Donald Trump his life. In a recent episode of The Joe Rogan Experience, the UFC commentator weighed in on the assassination attempt on the former president's life.

Rogan said:

"[Donald Trump] turns his head at the last second and the bullet grazes his ears. If he didn't it hits the back of his head and he's dead... And then people think that the Biden administration had Trump killed. And then there are these questions. How the f*ck does this 20-year-old kid climb on that roof 150 years away... from the former president."

Rogan added:

"The whole thing stinks of either incompetence or a design or we're in a matrix. This is a f***ing fake movie... to see him with these two female bumbling secret service agents... You can see the ladder. The whole thing is bananas... Is this the Black Mirror? Is this real?"
