Is this fight a joke or a genius move by McGregor to shake up the BKFC scene?

Things might be going out of hand at the Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship as Conor McGregor’s main man at ‘Mac Life’ Oscar Willis will be getting inside the ring with Misfits Boxing’s lead commentator Ben Davis. As absurd as this fight might sound, this is happening at BKFC’s latest outing in Spain. Their fight will kick off the DAZN segment of the major event, which is being promoted by McGregor himself. Both the fighters have promised to provide  “the lowest quality fight in BKFC history,” but still this is something to look forward to.

Regardless, ahead of their anticipated fun fight, ‘Mystic Mac’ was asked to have a few words about the fights that are scheduled for his event, to which he stated that it would be nothing but a bomb, “Oscar Willis is a f***ing ball,” said McGregor as he is heavily backing his man to emerge victories against Ben Davis.

He further added, “Oscar Willis has ba**s like a Bengali tiger—big, juicy balls! Oscar Willis has them, and he’s fighting Ben Davis. Fair f***ing play to Ben; he’s outsized. And Oscar? He’s in home territory, so he’s up against it. But Oscar is coming for the gold, baby. Let’s go, Oscar! Well, the fight might be just a silly joke but why are they actually fighting?

According to the debutants, their fight is friendly and they have agreed to fight under the full BKFC rules without employing the use of gloves. There was once a time when the promotion used to arrange influencer bouts just like Misfits but BKFC promoter, David Feldman soon sacked it as he didn’t view it as lucrative. The conclusion of the fight might surprise everybody but according to the biggest MMA promoter in the world, Dana White, both of these men shouldn’t fight each other.

Dana White has warned Oscar Willis and Ben Davis to not fight at Conor McGregor’s event

The fight might be interesting for many but for the UFC CEO Dana White, this is nothing but a fight to hurt yourself. While having a conversation with the media at the Dana White Contender Series press conference, he was asked about his thoughts regarding the fight. White was initially shocked to hear the news and advised both the fighters, especially Willis, with whom he has a close relationship to not fight.

“What? Don’t do it,” said White as he recommended Willis to not fight Davis. He further added, “What? Is that why he’s not here, he’s always here. So he is fighting bare-knuckle, when?” Well, when the UFC President was made aware of the original reason for the fight, he promised to watch it live, “This Saturday? Well, he’s a great kid and I wish him all the luck in the world, hope he doesn’t get his face busted up. Who’s he fighting? What! Holy s***, alright.”
