McGregor criticizes BKFC
Conor McGregor took aim at BKFC after Darren Till’s win over Yoel Romero, saying the fight fell short of what he wants from the promotion. McGregor called the bout “a spar” and said he was “disgusted” by it, a sharp rebuke after Till recovered from a late knockdown in the third round and rallied to win a decision in Manchester. The event also drew a record crowd at the AO Arena, but McGregor’s focus stayed on the quality of the action and the direction he believes BKFC should take.
Title fights first
Speaking after BKFC’s show in Glasgow, McGregor said the promotion’s fighters should be chasing world title honors instead of leaning into “celebrity white collar boxing.” His comments reinforced his criticism of BKFC’s direction. He framed that standard as the right path for the promotion.
Sean Weir praised
McGregor also praised BKFC fighter Sean Weir after Weir scored a first-round stoppage in front of a packed OVO Hydro. The praise stood in contrast to McGregor’s reaction to the Till-Romero fight, underscoring his point of view that BKFC should reward decisive, high-level finishes rather than bouts he sees as falling short of that standard.
