Conor McGregor has officially put ink to paper that will make him an official owner of Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship (BKFC).

Hopefully Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) CEO Dana White isn’t too mad.

Last month, the former UFC double champ made an announcement that he will become part owner of the bare knuckle promotion. McGregor’s Forged Irish Stout was already an official sponsor of BKFC and “Notorious” has created a good relationship with BKFC president, David Feldman, over the years. Their partnership seemed like a no brainer.

On Thursday, McGregor and Feldman met up at the Black Forge Inn in Dublin, Ireland, to make their new partnership official. McGregor put ink to paper to become a new owner of BKFC while sending a message to all prospective fighters. The details of McGregor’s new ownership deal are still unknown at this time.

“Take off the gloves and fight,” said McGregor after signing the official documents.

McGregor, who is coming off a huge starring role in the new “Road House” movie, has a knack for attaching himself to lucrative projects. This includes his Proper No. Twelve Irish whiskey, Forged Irish Stout, and now BKFC. It seems like everything McGregor touches these days turns into gold so Feldman and company must be ecstatic to have “Notorious” on board.

As for McGregor’s own fighting career, the UFC superstar will finally make his long-awaited Octagon return at UFC 303 this June against Michael Chandler. It will be McGregor’s first action inside of the cage since a loss to Dustin Poirier nearly three years ago.
