Conor McGregor’s appearances at BKFC 63 and the 2024 Sturgis Motorcycle Rally piqued fan interest. The combat sports megastar has now added to the buzz by sharing a few photographs from the Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship event and the American motorcycle festival.
In April 2024, McGregor and the BKFC announced that he’d become the U.S.-based bare-knuckle boxing organization’s new co-owner. The combat sports megastar thereby added to his formidable business empire, which boasts brands like Proper No. Twelve Irish Whiskey, Forged Irish Stout, and August McGregor clothing.
McGregor attended BKFC 63 at the Buffalo Chip Campground in Sturgis, South Dakota, U.S.A., on Aug. 3, 2024. The event was headlined by a BKFC women’s strawweight championship showdown between Britain Hart and Taylor Starling.
‘The Notorious’ also attended the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally, a biker festival that’s expected to run from Aug. 2 to Aug. 11. The former UFC featherweight and lightweight champion’s subsequent Instagram post featured 10 slides, each containing a photo of himself in Sturgis.
An excerpt from his statement in the post read:
“BLESSED IS BEST, BABY”
The first slide features Taylor Starling, BKFC president David Feldman, veteran referee Dan Miragliotta, and BKFC ring girls inside the ring. McGregor is seen leaning on the ropes.
The second slide shows a visibly elated McGregor holding a bottle of Proper 12, while he and others celebrate. The third shows someone holding a can of Forged Irish Stout and McGregor pouring some Proper 12 whiskey into a glass. The fourth consists of BKFC featherweight champion Kai Stewart looking at McGregor who’s smoking. The fifth slide shows McGregor lighting up while Stewart looks on.
Additionally, the sixth and seventh slides feature McGregor posing with a couple of BKFC ring girls. The eighth has ‘The Notorious’ photographed, in the same frame as BKFC squared circle announcer Jeff Houston, inside the BKFC squared circle.
The ninth shows the MMA icon looking right into the camera, while the camera’s focus is on his seemingly exquisite watch in the tenth slide.
