McGregor’s Comeback Push Gains Steam as BKFC Partner Praises His Best-Ever Form

BKFC president David Feldman expresses near-certainty about a UFC return after praising McGregor's current form.

Overview

  • Feldman says McGregor looks "better than he was in his prime," describing daily training, stricter diet, and renewed focus, and puts his confidence in a UFC return at about 99%.
  • No bout is confirmed, and reporting indicates the June 14 White House card will have no pay-per-view or gate, prompting talk that the UFC could reserve McGregor for a later numbered arena event.
  • McGregor has claimed his PPV-based UFC contract is effectively void under the promotion’s new Paramount+ deal and said he expects negotiations to take place in February, a stance not confirmed by the UFC.
  • The former two-division champion has not fought since breaking his leg against Dustin Poirier in 2021 and withdrew from a scheduled 2024 fight with Michael Chandler on short notice.
  • McGregor, a BKFC part-owner who has been visible at its events, has increased training and has publicly targeted the White House card for his return.
