Conor McGregor has heaped praise on two BKFC stars after a world title fight ended with one fighter having his face brutally busted open.
The UFC legend was watching from home as BKFC 74’s main event got vicious between Josh Dyer and Mike Richman. The latter’s light-heavyweight title was on the line, but he had his face smashed and bloodied by Dyer who claimed gold.
McGregor’s current fighting future is unclear, but he always makes time to tune in to events for BKFC, where he is a part owner. And he even managed to include a shot at Mike Perry in his ranting response to the gruesome fight.

The Irishman’s ranting wasn’t reserved for the victory and Perry. He also paid a tribute to a man who social media users noted had given everything in the fight, including chunks of his face which renowned commentator Ben Davis referred to as having ‘exploded’ in a tweet.
“Our former LHW World Champion,” McGregor wrote next to a gruesome photo of the ex-title holder. “US Marine. Went out on shield attempting to defend and retain his world title but it wasn’t to be this night.
“However take one look at this man and you know. A BAD MOTHERF—ER. SEEN BODIES AND TURNED THEM INTO BODIES TOO. Only at Bare Knuckle will you see I these utter maniacs. Step right up.”
