Conor McGregor is one UFC star who might stay out of the limelight but it’s as if the limelight follows him! He always finds a way to surprise the fans with his posts or comments and becomes a viral sensation overnight. This time the former dual weight champion is in the news for another reason and this is related to a certain video game. EA Sports launched their UFC 5 video game on October 24, 2023, and much to the surprise of the fans, ‘The Notorious’ had a character update in the new edition.

What is more surprising is that this video game gave the UFC star a new idea that he shared with the world. This idea can bring in new competition for the $37.84 billion gaming company.

Conor McGregor has a new business plan up his sleeve

Mystic Mac has been posting a lot of Instagram stories right now and one of them was him playing the new version of EA Sports UFC 5 game. However, what caught our attention was the caption in the story.  It seems like the perfect time for drumrolls because McGregor is planning to launch a similar video game related to BKFC! The part owner of the $411 million combat promotion wrote, “I am going to make a ©bareknucklefc game!”

McGregor partly owns BKFC and announced his partnership with the promotion at the BKFC KnuckleMania 4 card. Since then he has been promoting his new venture and even attended several fights to witness the showdown. It seems like the partial owner of such a lucrative promotion has big dreams for it just like he did for his Forged Irish Stout and other businesses. McGregor is a genius when it comes to entrepreneurship and we have witnessed it several times. So this idea of a BKFC video game might just work out.

Additionally, during the BKFC Marbella Fight Week, ‘ The Notorious’ had a conversation with JNMediaUK and spoke about an exciting matchup in the BKFC that could make history!

Conor McGregor desires a rematch with his old rival in BKFC

During the interview with JNMedia UK, the reporter asked McGregor about potential matchups, and ‘Mystic Mac’ gave a fiery response targeting his former boxing rival Floyd Mayweather. He said, “Floyd, you little F–er.” He further added, “You’re having bad conversations trying to get a boxing match at 155. Fight me my way! I’m the side, you all your bare-knuckle. McGregor, Mayweather, 170 pounds—let’s go, baby! Take off the gloves and fight!.”

‘The Notorious One’ also answered a question about wanting to see any crossover fights between boxing and MMA. The Irishman emphasized that he was prepared to take on anyone. “Every single one of them with the b–ls to do it—if they not, very few of them have the b–ls to do it. So, anyone who has the b–ls to step up, that’s my respect,” said McGregor.

The Mayweather vs. McGregor bout remains one of the most financially successful fights in combat sports history, generating nearly $300 million for Mayweather and $100 million for McGregor. A rematch could be equally lucrative, but it hinges on Mayweather’s decision. Share your thoughts on the likelihood of a Mayweather-McGregor rematch and the potential success of the BKFC video game that McGregor has hinted at.
