Conor McGregor has expressed interest in hosting a Bare Knuckle boxing event at Santiago Bernabéu, the home of Real Madrid. McGregor, a co-owner of the Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship (BKFC), envisions a "super event" at the iconic stadium. This has been confirmed by one of the leading fighters in the competition, Franco Tenaglia, who shared McGregor's ambitions in an interview with Radio Marca's 'El Último Asalto.'

Tenaglia, who will compete for the lightweight belt against Tony 'Loco' Soto on October 12 in Marbella, revealed McGregor's aspirations: "He talked to me about filling the Santiago Bernabéu, and I believe him. That guy can do anything." McGregor, a fan of Spain, is set on growing the Bare Knuckle brand and views Madrid as a prime location for a future mega fight.

During a press conference at the Hard Rock Hotel in Marbella, McGregor hinted at his plans, noting how recent stadium events with 80,000 spectators inspired his vision of an open-air fight at the Bernabéu. His business partner, David Feeldman, also confirmed that both he and McGregor plan to visit Madrid soon to explore this possibility.
