Just seconds into his UFC return after five years, Conor McGregor suffered a brutal ACL injury and was sidelined. Now, having undergone surgery and recovering from the injury, McGregor recently opened up about having his next and final UFC fight in 2027.

However, while McGregor plans on having his final UFC fight next year, he is also interested in pursuing a career in BKFC [Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship] next year. However, McGregor’s BKFC debut now has a condition attached to it. BKFC owner David Feldman has now claimed that McGregor’s future in BKFC is based on his next UFC fight.

Speaking to TalkSport, Feldman claimed that McGregor has to look good in his next fight for a stint in BKFC, a promotion of which “The Notorious One” is a part owner. “Obviously, he has to look good in this next fight.That’s a big key. If something crazy happened, like what happened in his last fight, then I don’t think a lot of people would be excited. But if he comes out there and has a good fight, a very good fight, win or lose doesn’t matter.

“Everybody’s going to be excited about Conor McGregor taking his gloves off. He knows it too. He has to have a good showing. He has to have a good showing for himself, right? If he doesn’t have a good showing for himself, he’s not going to want to do this. So there’s so much banking on this,” Feldman said.

Feldman believes that the Irishman must look good in his next fight so that fans are thrilled about his possible BKFC outing. Feldman hopes to see McGregor succeed in his final fight in 2027 and not end up disappointing like he did in his UFC 329 fight against Max Holloway.
