Conor McGregor reacts to Dana White’s possible illegal stream of BKFC event
Conor McGregor became a co-owner of the bare-knuckle boxing promotion Bare Knuckle FC (BKFC) in April 2024. The Irishman has been spotted at numerous BKFC events since, including the most recent one held in Marbella, Spain, on Oct. 12.
Oscar Willis, the lead reporter for the media company founded by McGregor, TheMacLife, participated in BKFC on DAZN: Spain, where he faced off against combat sports social media personality Ben Davis.
Willis is one of the most prominent reporters at UFC press conferences, and as such, UFC CEO Dana White has become familiar with him. White was asked if he had watched Willis' bare knuckle fight against Davis, and he hinted that he may have watched it via an illegal stream.
It was an unexpected moment, given White's keenness to eradicate illegal streaming in combat sports.
'The Notorious' has now shared his reaction to the UFC CEO's recent comments and wrote this online:
"Dana did not stream BKFC! He watched in great enjoyment and amusement alongside @KevinIole who had our card on! Fighting connoisseurs enjoying some Bare Knuckle Fighting action! F**king AWESOME!"

Conor McGregor and Ilia Topuria trade verbal jabs once again
Conor McGregor and Ilia Topuria have gone back and forth online several times over recent months. Ahead of Topuria's featherweight title fight against Max Holloway at UFC 308 on Oct. 26, McGregor shared his thoughts on the matchup.
'The Notorious' reflected on his victory over Holloway in 2013, after which 'Blessed' did not lose a fight at 145 pounds until he was defeated by Alexander Volkanovski at UFC 245 in 2019.
McGregor wrote this in a since-deleted post:
"1000% he became way better after losing to me. He actually became an all-time great after losing to me. This is a stellar fight folks! He took moves as well with him... He will be very hard to catch for the little man."

The Spaniard responded with this:
"100% Max has improved after fighting you. He must have realized that if he wanted to make a living from this, he couldn't be so bad as to lose to someone like you. Nowadays, he beats you easily... Khabib humiliated you, and Floyd gave you a master class in boxing at 50 years old. Take a seat, kid. You're a fake fighter."
