Although McGregor hasn&#8217;t fought since July 2021 and received an unexpected invitation to return to the octagon, his focus has shifted toward his new role in promotion. Joe Rogan, who has witnessed McGregor&#8217;s passionate press conferences since becoming co-owner of BKFC, praises him as one of the greatest promoters ever. This new documentary will further expand McGregor&#8217;s ambitious plans for the coming year.<\/p>\n<p>While McGregor has hinted at a UFC comeback, he remains a key figure within BKFC. Earlier this year, he revealed that BKFC aims to host &#8220;the most lucrative tournament in all of martial arts&#8221; \u2014 the World Baddest Man tournament set for 2026, featuring a massive $25 million prize. BKFC&#8217;s Chairman David Feldman recently announced on Instagram a partnership with KissFly Productions to produce a documentary series starting in May, chronicling the journeys of fighters competing for the title of the &#8220;baddest man in the world.&#8221; McGregor will host the series. KissFly Productions is noted for TV shows like &#8220;American Chopper&#8221; and &#8220;Hoffman Family Gold.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>BKFC\u2019s upcoming event calendar includes their annual &#8220;Knucklemania&#8221; card on February 7th, headlined by ex-UFC fighters Ben Rothwell and Andrei Arlovski battling for the BKFC heavyweight title at Philadelphia&#8217;s Xfinity Mobile Arena. Another notable fight features former UFC title contender Yoel Romero facing Lorenzo Hunt.<\/p>\n<p>Fan Take: Conor McGregor\u2019s move into promotion, especially with such a high-profile documentary, showcases his expanding influence beyond fighting, potentially bringing more mainstream attention to bare-knuckle boxing and the broader combat sports world. For fans, McGregor&#8217;s involvement might signal exciting growth and innovation in martial arts entertainment in the years ahead.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Conor McGregor, also known as &#8220;The Notorious,&#8221; is set to use his promotional talents for a new documentary series launching in 2026.
