MMA fans worldwide have been talking about Conor McGregor's UFC return for a very long time. As a result, McGregor has come under criticism when speculations of his appearance on a BKFC card began to surface online.
McGregor, who is a part owner of BKFC, has always been enthusiastic about the company's PPV events. He recently attended BKFC KnuckleMania 5, which took place this past weekend at the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia.
In the main event, the former UFC lightweight champion Eddie Alvarez faced Jeremy Stephens and suffered a third-round knockout loss. Following the contest, McGregor entered the ring during Stephens' post-fight interview and confronted the 38-year-old, demanding BKFC president Dave Feldman to organize a fight between the two.
He said:
