Conor McGregor has achieved immense success inside the octagon as an MMA practitioner. He has proved to be an equally good entrepreneur and recently acquired part ownership of BKFC in April 2024. As the company braces itself to head to Italy in 2025, 'The Notorious' reacted to the news.
BKFC's surging influence globally owes a large part of the credit to the Irishman who has been promoting it heavily. He regularly attends their events and posts about it on his social media platforms. The promotion teased an event in Florence, Italy scheduled for 2025 on their X account. McGregor quote tweeted it and offered his reaction:
While no date has been finalized for BKFC's Italy event, it is largely believed that the promotion will head toward the European nation after its Dubai event. BKFC is scheduled to host its fight card in Dubai on April 4-5, 2025.
