Former UFC champion Sean Strickland has dubbed the owners of bare-knuckle fighting promotion BKFC, including former UFC double champion Conor McGregor, as “f***ing crooks”.
“They’re paying their guys s***. Like [BKFC] is one of those organisations where you hear these numbers, it’s all bulls***.
“If you look at the lowest rung of the guys, they’re breaking their hands, breaking their orbitals, and they’re making a couple thousand bucks. Bare knuckle’s f***ing trash.”
BKFC has grown in popularity in recent years and they were bolstered byMcGregor’s McGregor Sports and Entertainment company becoming a part-ownerin the promotion alongside its majority shareholder, Triller, back in April.

The Irishman is yet to respond to the comments but neither fighter are known for keeping their opinions to themselves and Strickland has now left himself open to a war of words with “Notorious”.
