Conor McGregor gets in the middle of bareknuckle main event faceoff

Conor McGregor was having himself a blast at the weigh-in ahead of Saturday’s Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship (BKFC) event in Marbella, Spain.

McGregor was on hand and stepped in to break apart Franco Tenaglia and Tony Soto, who will be facing each other in the main event.

Tenaglia and Soto made contact with each other as they went face-to-face. Tenaglia jammed his fist under Soto’s chin, and Soto responded by sticking his face right up against Tenaglia’s.

McGregor stepped in between the men and tried to separate them. Wearing a pink suit, McGregor proudly held up a championship belt above his head and showed it off.

The Tenaglia-Soto fight is for the vacant BKFC Lightweight Championship. Two other chamionship belts will be on the line during the fight card.

What the heck was McGregor doing at the event? The former MMA fighter/boxer became a part-owner of BKFC in April. So he is thrilled to have the weigh-in get spicy, and to be in the middle of it. He knows how to seize an opportunity for some press when he sees it.
