It looks loke Conor McGregor wants to persue his combat sports career as a bare-knuckle boxer when he’s done with UFC. At least according to BKFC president and founder David Feldman.

“Unless he’s the best salesman in the world, the talks that we’ve had it’s like ‘I’m fighting here,’” Feldman told MMA Fighting. “I’m like yeah, OK. He [said] ‘I’m fighting here. I go, ‘Why wouldn’t you fight here?’ Because you have equity in the company and if you fight here, you’ll probably make more money than anywhere else in the world because of what it’s going to do for the company. So I truly believe what you said — I think 100 percent he fights here.”

O’Malley urges fans to rewatch Dvalishvili fight without commentary

The former UFC bantamweight champion Sean O’Malley lost his title to Merab Dvalishvili at UFC 306. Now that he has rewatched the fight, he is convinced he should’ve got his hand raised.

“The narrative around this f*cking fight is that I got my ass whooped,” O’Malley said on his YouTube channel. “I’m going to ask the UFC if they could please post that fight on YouTube. I won the first, third and fifth round. I challenge all you little dorks that think I got my ass kicked to rewatch that fight. I know it’s hard to be non-biased, but rewatch that fight, turn the commentary off and tell me I did not win that fight. I won the first, third, and fifth.”
