Conor McGregor was forced to step in and split up a wild brawl at a weigh-in for a BKFC event in Marbella, Spain.

McGregor - who is a co-owner of the promotion - was on stage as Tony ‘Loco’ Soto and Franco Tenaglia weighed in for their lightweight world title fight.

Dressed in a pink suit with sunglasses and a freshly shaved head, McGregor helped get the crowd going by gesturing to those in attendance, but was forced to jump in as a scuffle almost broke out between the two main-eventers.

Amidst the chaos, McGregor grabbed the BKFC title and held it aloft over his head, the scuffle clearly doing little to sour his mood.

McGregor has been involved in BKFC for some time now and is more commonly seen promoting the organisation as his MMA exodus continues.

A return to the octagon in 2024 never materialised, and while McGregor has assured fans that he will fight for the UFC in 2025, he has hinted that it might be his last year fighting for organisation.

“It will be 2025,” McGregor said when asked about his future last month.

“We will see. My opponent that I had scheduled... it is what it is. I take it on board and rock on. My job is to go to the gym and be in shape, whenever it is and wherever it is. I will be 100 per cent ready.

“I must get two fights in 2025. It’s the promised land. Who knows (who the next opponent will be). It does not matter. Whoever, let’s see. I’d like it to be Chandler. I wish him well and see where it goes.”
