Conor McGregor's success in the UFC has allowed him to transcend the sport of MMA and become a global cultural icon. His larger-than-life persona quickly penetrated mainstream media, including appearances on video games.
McGregor prominently featured on the EA Sports UFC 2 and UFC 3 covers. He also landed a role as a character in Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare, further expanding his brand into the gaming world. In an online discussion sparked by a fan on X, McGregor teased an exciting new venture in the gaming space.
A fan on X opened up the discussion stating that McGregor looked more impressive in the Call of Duty franchise than in any of his appearances across the UFC video game series. While replying to the fan's mention of his video game appearances, McGregor revealed that he's working on a Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship (BKFC) video game, tweeting:
"These two are pretty good in fairness. I am currently working on a @bareknucklefc video game! Fast pace action with nasty cuts and blood splatter and the sound of bare knuckles on skull impact never heard nor seen before in a video game. Stay tuned!"

Conor McGregor makes massive financial claims and bold predictions for the future
Conor McGregor has hailed himself as the undisputed king of UFC pay-per-views, asserting that he "outsold" UFC 100 in terms of buys.
UFC 100, which took place in 2009, was a landmark event featuring fighters like Brock Lesnar, Georges St-Pierre and Jon Jones, and was initially reported to have sold between 1.3 to 1.6 million pay-per-view buys. 'The Notorious,' meanwhile, leads the list of the highest-grossing events, with UFC 229, besides holding several spots on the ladder.
He went on to say that he has documentation to prove his claim that he outperformed UFC 100. He took to X and wrote:
“7 out of 10 highest ppv’s, NO! I have 8 of the highest! I outsold UFC 100! I have the documentation to prove it. By the end of my contract, I will hold the entire top 10.”
