Conor McGregor demands a fight from BKFC David Feldman

Jeremy Stephens stopped Eddie Alvarez in round-3 of their five-round BKFC fight. Immediately after the clash, Conor McGregor stepped forward to challenge Stephens, forehead-to-forehead. In a heated confrontation, McGregor said, “Here, let’s make a date. Who’s going to stop me, man to man? No one is going to stop me. David [Feldman], make a date, let’s do it. I’m down for it, bro.”

So, does that mean that the former dual-weight champion of the world is looking to lock horns with Stephans? Well, David Feldman came forward to ascertain McGregor’s demands from him, “One more thing: as I was walking out of the arena, Conor actually tapped me on the shoulder and told me to make sure I tell everybody that he will face Jeremy Stephens in BKFC. That’s what he said. I don’t know if it’s happening—I’m just telling you, Conor just told me that he is fighting.”

For the unversed, back in 2015, the Irishman created an unforgettable viral moment during the UFC ‘Go Big’ press conference. After being verbally targeted by Jeremy Stephens, he fired back with the now-iconic line, “Who the f*** is that guy?” It’s been years since their initial back-and-forth and now it looks like they may finally clash. From, arguably the lightweight GOAT, we’ll now move on to news of the MMA GOAT.
