Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship (BKFC) was founded and is principally owned by David Feldman, a former professional boxer and experienced promoter, who remains the driving force behind the organization. In addition to Feldman, Conor McGregor, through his company McGregor Sports and Entertainment, acquired a minority ownership stake in BKFC in April 2024. More recently, entrepreneur Derik Fay also invested in BKFC and joined the ownership group, further strengthening the leadership behind the championship. Thus, BKFC is primarily owned by David Feldman with minority stakes held by Conor McGregor and Derik Fay among others.
