McGregor sighting!
Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship (BKFC) 63 went down last night outside the Legendary Sturgis Buffalo Chip in Sturgis, South Dakota, where Britain Hart defended her Strawweight title against Taylor Starling via unanimous decision.
Before the main event, Conor McGregor, part owner of BKFC, made a surprise appearance and made quite the entrance with a new look.

Bald “Notorious” walked out to Welcome To The Jungle, and while it wasn’t as epic as his UFC 189 walkout with Sinead O’Connor, it sure had energy.
McGregor then chugged a beer in the ring and cut a promo.
“What’s more badass than bare knuckle and American rock and roll?” McGregor said. “Nothing, baby, that’s what. Take off the gloves and fight b—ch; there’s nothing like a bare knuckle.”

There has been no movement regarding McGregor’s highly anticipated return to the octagon other than the former two-division meeting with UFC CEO Dana White about a fight later in the year and firing Mike Perry after his loss to Jake Paul.
