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.
