Conor McGregor teases BKFC clash with Jeremy Stephens in the future: ‘That’s an exciting fight’

Former two-weight UFC champion, Conor McGregor has been a vocal board member of the BKFC (Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship) since striking a deal with the David Feldman-led promotion earlier this annum. And amid links to a potential move to the organization in the future, he has now suggested a grudge match with former Octagon contender, Jeremy Stephens.

McGregor, a former undisputed lightweight champion and a featherweight gold holder, has been out of action for more than three years, most recently fracturing his left tibia and fibula in a first round doctor’s stoppage TKO loss to Dustin Poirier in the main event of UFC 264.
