Conor McGregor says he’s entered a new chapter—spiritually and competitively—as he pushes to return to the UFC while championing his role as a part-owner of Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship (BKFC).
“Saved… and Healed”
Speaking at the BKFC 83 pre-fight press conference in Rome, after similar remarks at BKFC 82 in Newark, McGregor framed his recent months as a spiritual turn:
“There is a higher power… I’ve engaged on a spiritual journey, and I am saved. I’m saved, and I am healed… My competitive spark… is now a roaring blaze.”
McGregor said he’s “gone inward” to recalibrate and is “very, very excited” to return to action.
