Conor McGregor recently shared his reaction to Jessica Eye officially announcing her deal to join the BKFC roster. Expressing his excitement, McGregor said he believes the UFC veteran has a bright future in bare knuckle boxing.

Eye retired from MMA in 2022 after suffering her fourth consecutive loss to Maycee Barber at UFC 276. However, it appears as though 'Evil' has found a desire to compete again as she officially announced her signing with BKFC during her latest appearance on The Ariel Helwani Show.

McGregor, who is a part owner, shared his reaction to Helwani's post regarding the announcement on X by heaping praise on Eye. The former two-division UFC champion expressed his excitement for 'Evil' joining the fold at BKFC and mentioned that she looks to be in the best shape of her career:

"She is in phenomenal physical condition! The best I've ever seen her and I have shared many a card with her over the years. Look at her big bare fists and magnificent musculature! We are very happy to have 'Evil' Eye at BKFC! We have high hopes for her and she will be well looked after! [heart emoji]"
