In Photos: Conor McGregor shares exclusive snaps of BKFC Spain night-out with fiancée Dee Devlin
Conor McGregor gave fans an inside look at the recently concluded Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship (BKFC) event in Marbella, Spain. Held at the sold-out Marbella Arena, the night was headlined by three championship bouts, with the main event featuring Franco Tenaglia against Tony 'Loco' Soto for the vacant BKFC world lightweight championship.
The thrilling bout saw Tenaglia send Soto to the canvas in the opening round, only to find himself knocked down in the second. Tenaglia bounced back in the third round, securing another knockdown before ultimately winning by a majority decision.
BKFC Founder David Feldman, along with McGregor, who attended the event with his fiancée Dee Devlin, praised the evening's action-packed fights. 'The Notorious' later posted exclusive behind-the-scenes photos from the event on social media, writing:
"The wildest show on the planet, @bareknucklefc!"

Conor McGregor dropped key update on UFC return
Conor McGregor recently shared important details about his highly anticipated comeback to the octagon. During an interview with Bloody Elbow at BKFC Spain last Saturday, McGregor revealed that he intends to return to the octagon on Feb. 1, 2025, in Saudi Arabia.
When asked about his opponent, McGregor named Dan Hooker, the No. 5 ranked UFC lightweight, as his likely challenger.
Check out Conor McGregor's comment below:
Dan Hooker, who was also present at the BKFC event, was seen interacting with McGregor during the event. Hooker has previously expressed interest in a showdown with the former two-division champion.
McGregor has been out of action since UFC 264 in 2021, where he suffered a leg injury in a fight against Dustin Poirier. Though he served as a coach on The Ultimate Fighter opposite Michael Chandler, their expected bout was postponed due to McGregor's injury and USADA complications.
With a February return now set, fans are eager to see McGregor back in action after his prolonged absence. Hooker, who recently won at UFC 305, could be a fitting challenger for McGregor’s comeback fight.
