Conor McGregor, known for his exceptional promotional skills, made an appearance at BKFC 41 after being invited by the event’s management, who had previously been in talks with his security team. The invitation was extended with no financial incentives, and McGregor flew out from Los Angeles to attend the event in Broomfield, Colorado. After the event’s main fight, fan-favorite Mike Perry called McGregor out, and McGregor willingly accepted the challenge, putting on the BKFC championship belt.

The pictures and videos of McGregor with the belt were an instant hit on social media. BKFC President David Feldman was extremely pleased with the unexpected turn of events, and he praised the enthusiasm that McGregor showed for the sport. Despite the mention of a possible match between Perry and McGregor becoming one of the most talked-about moments of the weekend, Feldman acknowledged that it was unlikely to happen since McGregor is currently under contract with the UFC.

Despite the match being unlikely, Feldman felt that the interest McGregor generated from the moment alone was worth millions. BKFC41’s success was due to the company’s hard work and the sport’s organic growth, and they have not paid anyone to attend their events. However, Feldman believes that McGregor’s appearance would give the sport the push it needs to be a significant force in the combat sports world.
