Conor McGregor has teased that MMA legend Fedor Emelianenko might be joining Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship (BKFC). In a recent social media post, McGregor hinted at the potential signing, sharing an image of Fedor alongside BKFC President David Feldman, fueling speculation about the Russian heavyweight’s future in combat sports.
While Emelianenko officially retired after his Bellator 290 fight in 2023, rumors of a return have persisted. McGregor’s post added to the intrigue, though no official confirmation has been made by BKFC or Emelianenko’s camp. If Fedor does sign, it would mark a stunning late-career shift for the former PRIDE champion into the world of bare-knuckle fighting.
