Conor McGregor is hinting at maybe the biggest BKFC signing yet.
At a press conference in Italy to promote the BKFC’s April 26 event in Florence, the promotion’s part-owner teased that MMA legend Fedor Emelianenko could soon join the roster. McGregor perked up when a reporter praised his accomplishments, comparing him to Emelianenko and Royce Gracie, before claiming that Emelianenko’s BKFC arrival is imminent.
“Fedor Emelianenko?” McGregor said. “Stay tuned, we might have some announcement with Fedor Emelianenko. Hey Fedor, we’re waiting. Some news might be coming with Fedor Emelianenko. Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship is signing and acquiring the best fighters of all time, past, present and future, and everyone wants to be a part of this.”
