Conor McGregor has been busy sealing business deals ahead of a much-awaited return to UFC after a three-year hiatus.
Conor McGregor has put pen to paper on becoming an official part-owner of the Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship, declaring "Rocket to the moon, brother" as he signed his contract.
On Thursday, the former two-division UFC champion welcomed BKFC president David Feldman to his Black Forge Inn in Dublin, Ireland to ceremoniously finalize the deal.

Conor McGregor’s New Deal
In a video capturing the moment, an excited McGregor can be seen inking the agreement, stating: "Take off the gloves and fight b***h" as he made his ownership stake official per Daily Mail.
Under the new arrangement, McGregor's business enterprise McGregor Sports and Entertainment will become a minority partner in BKFC, while media company Triller retains its majority shareholding.
)
For McGregor, it represents another ambitious business venture to add to his flourishing portfolio which also includes venturing into Hollywood as he prepares for his return to the UFC octagon.
The 35-year-old is scheduled to headline UFC 303 in June for a blockbuster showdown against Michael Chandler after a three-year hiatus from mixed martial arts competition.
His proclamation of "Rocket to the moon, brother" suggests 'The Notorious' has lofty ambitions for taking the fledgling BKFC promotion to new stratospheric heights.
Bare knuckle boxing has experienced a recent surge in popularity, with fans drawn to the raw and explosive action provided without gloves or wraps.
)
McGregor's profile and promotional genius is expected to elevate BKFC further into the mainstream conscious as a co-owner and brand ambassador.
While he may share the combat sports spotlight with the likes of the PFL's Jake Paul, the Irishman clearly believes his Midas touch can guide BKFC to uncharted levels of success and exposure.
)
However, McGregor's primary focus will inevitably be on his imminent UFC comeback against the dangerous Chandler after a lengthy period of inactivity and rehabilitation from injury.
If successful, expect his patented mic-skills to be used to full effect in promoting the rise of his new bare-knuckle boxing empire to heights previously thought unimaginable.
