‘Concerned’ Conor McGregor Crowns First BKFC UK Champion in Manchester

BKFC 81 has definitely been the night of violent scraps. But, simultaneously, glory was also on the line. In the main card, two vicious UK fighters, Jonny Graham and Navid Mansour, went toe to toe for the promotion’s inaugural lightweight championship. And just like the rest of the card, it was pure violence. The fight became so intense that it even left Conor McGregor concerned.

Both fighters looked locked and ready to put on their best performances to win the title. And honestly, they proved to be a very even match in the first round. Graham landed 28 punches, slightly edging Mansouri’s 26 strikes. However, in the second round, the scrap began to get a little more interesting.

Graham started to press his foot on the accelerator and kept pressure on with forward movement. After some time, he found an excellent hook shot in the middle of an exchange, which flatlined Mansouri. That knockout was so brutal, even the BKFC co-owner Conor McGregor, who has similarly finished many opponents, wore a shocking expression all over his face.
