Thought to be a no-show for a second, UFC superstar and BKFC part-owner Conor McGregor ended the Knuckle Mania V press conference on the highest note possible.

Former UFC stars Eddie Alvarez (1-1) and Jeremy Stephens (2-0) are set to clash in the main event of the bareknuckle boxing event at Wells Fargo Center in Alvarez’s hometown of Philadelphia.

McGregor was referring to UFC president Dana White – who publicly dismissed the boxing match – and the fact that Logan has starred in WWE since 2021. Now, the former MMA champion has gone into more depth on why the fight collapsed, despite UFC and WWE having the same owners: TKO Group Holdings.

Conor McGregor has called out Logan Paul for faking a discussion they had about a potential upcoming fight, claiming the two never directly discussed the matter, although Logan Paul made it appear like they did.

It was business savvy and business sense to make the fight happen, or should I say, the glorified spar happen, and in between this wait, this waiting period that we find ourselves in before I can get back to the octagon.
