Look at Ancillary rights provision under Eddie’s contract UFC might own all images associated with Mcgregor, can he appear in a BKFC game?

Forbes thinks this may be problematic.

Conor McGregor Is Working On A BKFC Video Game, But That’s Problematic

Conor McGregor is no stranger to video games and he says he is working on a BKFC title. While that sounds exciting, the project could face a few issues.

www.forbes.com

“However, there is almost no way the UFC is going to sign off on allowing McGregor to be in a BKFC video game, as the title would be seen as a direct competitor to the EA UFC series.”

 

[don't ask]

Good. I hope he causes the UFC some legal trouble and forces some changes. I had the same wish when he was trying to box whatsisface and was the only fighter in the sport who might have had the power to improve things for other fighters.

Dude, this could jeopardize the two remaining fights Conor has left on contract.

Mcgregor x chandler or Mcgregor x Holloway
Mcgregor x Hooker and possibly illia x Mcgregor.

Those fights would be huge, fking devastating if they don’t happen.

As nebulous of an article as you can get. Nothing signed, nothing in the works, only a ton of ifs.

I'm guessing it's only assumed he'd be in the game, but it doesn't say he's going to be it.

Possible Conor redemption arc?

Fight Night Champion had bareknuckle boxing, it was a huge part of the story of the game, where you started out bareknuckle boxing in prison. Complete with knuckle on skull sounds, and blood splatter.

Certainly not the first time in video games.

Possible Conor redemption arc?

Would love to see it. Conor going from plumber trainee to unemployment insurance recipient to hugely hyped prospect to world champion to coked out shitty-movie actor and garbage whiskey salesman to the lever that finally pries open the chokehold the UFC has on the sport and the athletes.

what, McGregor talking absolute shite, there is a first for everything i guess

I think Conor and the UFC may be in for a nasty public dispute sooner than later. Conor has two fights and there is zero doubt that the UFC hasn't been trying to resign him to more or less his last contract (ie: similar to what they did with Jones). It won't shock me if this is one of the main reasons Conor didn't fight in 2024. He has been very vocal about wanting to fight these two fights and be free to do what he wants. I also believe Conor would be one of the few fighters that has a sunset clause in his contract similar to what Francis had. Conor's people seem to have been very smart regarding all of Conor's business moves.

I think the first quarter of 2025 could be very interesting in the UFC/Conor world.

Wow, another Conor legal argument from 1rst-year Koa.

Never could have seen it coming.

Dude. Conor is NEVER getting out of his UFC contract while Dana has any say or control in it. Period.

When he finally leaves the UFC, Conor won't be anything more than a brawler.

I'm more likely to play a BKFC game than a UFC game - the UFC ones are terrible - and that's from someone who has no interest in watching BKFC. As a game, that could be fun!

Lol you still think Conor will ever fight in the UFC again?

Conor would legitimately prefer to fight the UFC in court I think than actually get back in the Octagon.

Forbes write horrible articles...
