Fans from the UK and Ireland may not have to travel far to see Conor McGregor compete.

McGregor spoke about wanting to set attendance records when commenting on making his BKFC debut in the near future.

‘The Notorious’ will be a free agent once he returns from injury and competes in the final fight on his current UFC contract.

Dave Feldman already has some plans in mind for when his business partner is ready to put on the biggest BKFC fight to date.

Who would you pick for Conor McGregor to fight in his BKFC debut and why?🤔

McGregor has just one fight left in the UFC before he is free to fight wherever he wants.

Dave Feldman believes Conor McGregor’s BKFC debut will take place in the UK

Dave Feldman is serious about bringing BKFC to Anfield in Liverpool, but this isn’t the only football stadium that he’s got an eye on.

The promotion’s president spoke about what he believes is a real potential of running an event at Ibrox Stadium in Glasgow following the promotion’s Scotland debut on Saturday night.

When this came up at the BKFC 96 post-fight press conference, Feldman was asked what other venues in the UK he’s looking at.

“I mean, I look everywhere man, just wherever makes sense,” he replied. “Conor McGregor saying that he’s going to fight for bare-knuckle fighting championship after his next fight, that has to be in the UK. There’s going to be a lot of big things going on.”

It seems likely that Feldman meant to include Ireland in this also, with ‘The Notorious’ finally returning home making a lot of sense.

Even if that isn’t the case, McGregor competing in the UK or anywhere in Europe will still be a long overdue occurrence.

Either way, this will be good news for fans from the UK, Ireland, and even Europe who want to watch McGregor compete live.

The former two-weight UFC champion hasn’t competed anywhere near where he’s from since his star-making moment in July of 2014 where he headlined Dublin’s 3Arena in his first UFC main event.

Since then, ‘The Mac’ has fought almost entirely in the United States, with the one exception being his second fight with Dustin Poirier in 2021, which took place in Abu Dhabi.

This isn’t necessarily surprising as it makes sense for the UFC to have McGregor fight in a more suitable time zone for their audience in the United States.

The one time he fought in Abu Dhabi, the main card started at 7:00 am local time so that US fans would be able to watch the event at prime time hours.

BKFC, on the other hand, do not have a track record of doing this, so they would seemingly be more willing to try to get the audience to tune in and watch McGregor regardless of when the event takes place.

They haven’t put on an event that would compare to the scale of a McGregor fight, but their aspirations to put on shows at football stadiums shows what they could have in mind.

Something like the biggest star in the history of MMA competing in bare-knuckle in stadium would be easily big enough to make up for the event taking place earlier in the day for fans in the United States.
