Conor McGregor's efficient handling of a chaotic brawl during the BKFC Spain face-offs has drawn attention, with some comparing him to UFC CEO Dana White.

As a part-owner of BKFC, McGregor is heavily involved in the company's marketing. So when BKFC made its foray into Spain, 'The Notorious' was on duty at the pre-fight weigh-ins and face-offs.

However, tensions escalated when main eventers Franco Tenaglia and Tony Soto came to blows, prompting the Irishman and the security team to separate the pair forcefully.

The melee, however, didn't deter McGregor from his promotional duties. Once the brawl had been resolved, he proudly lifted up and showed off the lightweight championship title.

Conor McGregor calls out KSI at BKFC Spain weigh-ins

KSI's widely criticized new single 'Thick Of It' has landed him in Conor McGregor's crosshairs.

Talking to Misfits Boxing's media team at the weigh-ins of BKFC Spain, 'The Notorious' renewed his call-out to the social media star while discrediting the organization as a whole:

"Listen you, Misfits ain't never seen nothing like this [BKFC Spain]. 16-ounce gloves, f**k off. Take off those gloves and fight b***h... Let's go. I'll fight him [KSI] for that bullsh*t song you released alone. I'll fight him for that f*****g song alone."
