Conor McGregor set to host search for ‘World’s Baddest Man’ ahead of $25m tournament

‘The Notorious’ will be lending his promoter skills to a new docu-series in 2026.

Conor McGregor has received some unexpected offers to make his return to competition having not fought since July of 2021.

While this could change in 2026, the former UFC lightweight and featherweight champion has kept himself busy in recent years thanks to a new role.

Joe Rogan has highlighted McGregor as maybe the greatest promoter of all time after watching his fired-up press conferences since becoming the part-owner of BKFC.

His latest venture with the promotion will see the Irishman help to build the hype surrounding their huge plans for the new year.

Conor McGregor may be dropping hints about his UFC return but that doesn’t mean that he won’t continue to be a massively important figure for BKFC.

Earlier this year, McGregor unveiled the promotion’s plans for ‘the most lucrative tournament in all of combat sports’.

The ‘World’s Baddest Man’ tournament will take place in 2026, but the huge $25 million prize pot isn’t the only way that BKFC will look to make this their biggest move to date.

BKFC president David Feldman recently announced on Instagram that the promotion has entered into an agreement with KissFly Productions to produce a docu-series that will get underway in May.

“We will search the world. We’re going all over the globe to find who will be named the World’s Baddest Man,” Feldman said. “The docu-series will follow these fighters throughout the journey.”

In his announcement, the promotion’s president also revealed that McGregor will be involved in the series as its host.

KissFly Productions is best known for producing TV series like American Chopper and Hoffman Family Gold.
