Conor McGregor won’t let an injury result in him missing a huge BKFC fight.
McGregor recently said that he’s finally undergone surgery for the injury he suffered when making his return to the Octagon last month.
The combat sports world, including the promotion ‘The Notorious’ is a part owner of, continues to move forward while McGregor shares insight into his recovery.
The Irishman may be focused on getting back to the Octagon next year but that doesn’t mean he can’t take some time to be there live for a huge matchup that is heading to Manchester, England.

It was announced on June 27 that Darren Till will be facing Yoel Romero in his second BKFC fight on September 26.
The two former UFC stars will headline the AO Arena in Manchester, England for what is undoubtedly one of the promotion’s biggest events to date.
Before the press conference and first face offs got underway for BKFC 94, the promotion’s president and founder, Dave Feldman, spoke with Bloody Elbow.
He confirmed that Conor McGregor will be in attendance next month despite his recent surgery, having already gotten his initial reaction to the matchup.
“He loves it,” Feldman said. “He just said holy s—, how did you make that fight happen. He’s excited about BKFC in general.”
Is Darren Till better at boxing than he was in the UFC?
Darren Till seems to have found a home in the Misfits Boxing ring, do you think he is actually better there than the octagon?
Feldman added that he’s been able to speak with McGregor several times since the Irishman’s disappointing UFC return.
He said that ‘The Notorious’ was understandably in a very difficult spot after things went the way they did following a five-year break between fights.
However, he believes that after taking a week to deal with the result, McGregor bounced back and started putting all of his energy into what is ahead of him rather than what’s already happened.
