The famous Irish professional MMA fighter and boxer, Conor McGregor has recently been seen with ex-international footballers Shay Given and Stephen Carr in Marbella. The trio were snapped smiling and clasping hands at Marbella’s ‘Club House’ sports bar venue.

"Excited to be in the company of legends," Conor McGregor shared alongside a photo of himself with ex-international footballers Shay Given and Stephen Carr.

In Marbella to help launch a bare-knuckle boxing event for BKFC, a promotion he co-owns, McGregor made a grand entrance by arriving on his yacht at Puerto Banús, causing quite a stir among onlookers.

His presence in Marbella has generated a buzz, with Conor expressing his enthusiasm for the promotion’s Spanish debut on 12 October during the BKFC Marbella launch press conference.

The MMA star hinted at the possibility of competing in the squared circle himself, stating, "This organisation is truly thrilling. How could one resist the opportunity to become a two-sport world champion in the intense world of bare-knuckle fighting? With big pay, big shows, and a coveted world title, Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship has it all."

TCN Creative agency praised McGregor for his impact in Marbella, to which Conor responded positively, acknowledging the successful collaboration with @bareknucklefc @lasalabanus @clubhousemarbella.

The 'Club House' sports venue, where the events will take place, expressed gratitude for Conor's visit and hoped he enjoyed his time in Marbella.

An English tourist in Marbella shared her excitement, revealing, "I became a fan of MMA because of him."

McGregor's appearance led to increased security measures at the events, where attendees were briefed on the rules of bare-knuckle boxing - a format that differs from traditional boxing with fights taking place in a circular ring with four ropes and consisting of five two-minute rounds, often culminating in knockouts.
