Conor McGregor with a new media role: Irish star to host reality show on FOX Nation

Irish combat sports superstar Conor McGregor is preparing a new project that will put him in the spotlight, albeit in a different role than that of a fighter. McGregor will host a new reality show for the bare-knuckle fighting chain BKFC, which will be broadcast on the 'FOX Nation' platform.

The project, titled 'World’s Baddest Man', is a documentary series that will follow a single-elimination tournament featuring fighters from around the world. McGregor, who is also a co-owner of the BKFC organization, will play a key role in the show, hosting the events and serving as the primary face of the series.

'BKFC has changed the world of combat sports, and I am incredibly excited to partner with FOX Nation,' McGregor shared in an official statement. According to him, the tournament will showcase the toughest athletes on the planet and set new standards for courage and will in sports.

Lauren Patterson, president of 'FOX Nation', emphasized that attracting a figure of McGregor's scale is a strategic move to create bold and original content. The series will combine a documentary style with high-stakes competition, providing viewers with access to unique athletes.

The show's premiere is planned for the summer of 2027. Although the tournament participants have not yet been officially announced, the competition's finale is expected to be a grand live event that will conclude with the determination of the absolute winner.
