UFC superstar Conor McGregor is in Spain to promote the Bare Knuckle Fighting Championships (BKFC). The photos he shared on Instagram have heightened anticipation to sky-high levels.
'The Notorious' is arguably a modern-day great of combat sports, turning everything he touches into gold. Recently, McGregor has been busy promoting BKFC, a company in which he owns a partial stake.
The city of Marbella, Spain, is hosting an event of the promotion in October, which will feature its no-gloves action, and 'Mystic Mac' is gearing up to hype the event. He shared the details of the event on Instagram and urged fans to show up early.
