Former UFC two-divisional champion Conor McGregor recently made an appearance at the BKFC Spain press conference. Mystic Mac looked absolutely fresh and energetic throughout the presser. McGregor kicked off the press conference with his speech, where he praised BKFC and the fighters competing on the card. 

During the fighter's interaction with the media, a reporter from the crowd stood up and claimed his name was Conor, and he was asked to mimic Conor McGregor’s Irish accent. The reporter further asked about a potential fight between him and Khabib Nurmagomedov in the BKFC. 

The reporter asked, “There is a well-known rat (referring to Khabib Nurmagomedov) who owes his b*ll*ks off to the Russian government. Would you get that man to BKFC? That man needed a dollar or two. He clearly needs that money to pay the Russian government.”

Conor McGregor hilariously responded to the reporter, mimicking him, “Sounds like I’m talking, I don’t know. Who the f*** is that guy? McGregor further expressed on a potential fight with arch-rival undefeated UFC lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov, “The guy (Khabib Nurmagomedov) won’t even fight, come on.”

Conor McGregor has been out of action for almost three long years now. The last time Conor McGregor competed in UFC was in 2021 when he locked horns with former UFC interim champion Dustin Poirier at UFC 264 pay-per-view.

The fight didn't go according to Notorious' plan. In round one, Dustin Poirier kept his game plan from their last clash and targeted Conor McGregor's bad leg. By the end of round one, Conor McGregor snapped his leg and was unable to continue due to the brutal injury.
