The always entertaining Ebanie Bridges was back in action earlier tonight (Sat., Dec. 9, 2023) live on DAZN from inside Chase Center in San Francisco, Calif., and she had the full backing of Conor McGregor.
Bridges, who is known for her work on OnlyFans and inside of the ring, was the IBF female bantamweight champion of the world entering this weekend. The 37-year-old fighter has made headlines over the past two years for her risqué weigh ins and pre-fight antics. However, Bridges has really began to shine inside of the ring, culminating in four-straight wins including a recent TKO victory over Shannon O’Connell in Dec. 2022 to defend her IBF bantamweight title (watch HERE).
With growing success Bridges has been able to raise her overall boxing stock and social media following. In turn, she has attracted the likes of Conor McGregor, who sponsored “Blonde Bomber” this weekend with his Forged Irish Stout brand. McGregor has become quite chummy with Bridges and is quickly becoming one of her biggest fans.
On Friday, Bridges stepped on stage for another revealing weigh-in and a successful cut down to 117 pounds. This time around, the IBF champion showed off a Forged Irish Stout tattoo on her stomach. We’re assuming most fans were looking at Bridges’ body because of what she was wearing (or rather not wearing) so it was perfect product placement.

Thank you for being by my side and in my corner while I chase my dreams.
I’m so proud to be a part of the forged army and I can’t wait to smash a forged Irish stout after I smash my opponent tonight.”
Bridges, who made her rise as a Golden Gloves boxer in Australia, was matched up against Miyo Yoshida on Saturday night’s main card and ended up losing a unanimous decision (highlights below). With the loss, Bridges will bring a 8-2 professional record and no belt into the new year.
Built for the moment@MiyoBluedog was the underdog but you couldn’t tell by the way she controlled the pace of the fight.
