UFC superstar Conor McGregor has disclosed his interest in stepping into the bare-knuckle boxing ring and hinted at a future opponent.
Earlier this year, McGregor, 36, surprised many by becoming a part-owner of Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship (BKFC), a promotion gaining rapid popularity in combat sports.

Known for his achievements as a former two-division UFC champion, McGregor has now hinted that he may one day challenge himself in the unforgiving arena of bare-knuckle fighting.
If he does, potential opponents are lining up for the opportunity to face the Irish fighter in this brutal sport.
McGregor, however, seems to have his sights set on a specific opponent—former UFC lightweight and recent BKFC signee Jeremy Stephens.

In a recent Instagram post promoting BKFC’s latest event, McGregor fueled speculation about a future bout with Stephens.
He wrote: “BARE KNUCKLE WARRIORS LETS GO! We are live this Friday from Salt Lake City, Utah. In our co-main event also we have ‘Who the f**k is that guy’ facing off again against Bobby Taylor.”
“Me and ‘Who the f**k’ is an exciting bare-knuckle fight down the line 100%! Good luck to all our combatants! EXCITED! @bareknucklefc FIGHT WEEK! Swipe for the card and full schedule! @bareknucklefc.”
