Conor McGregor was full of praise for Connor Tierney and Jonny Graham after their barn-burner at BKFC 64.
The British bare-knuckle boxers went to war over five rounds at the Coventry Skydome Arena on Saturday night for the inaugural BKFC UK welterweight title.Both men laid it all on the line yet in the end, it was Tierney who got his hand raised with all three judges' scorecards reading 48-45, 48-45, and 48-46 in his favor.'The Brumtown Bomber's' face was so swollen after his hard-fought unanimous decision victory that he was barely recognisable.
Tierney got off to a flying start, dropping Graham in the opening ten seconds of the contest with a crisp left hand.McGregor loved every minute of the exhilarating main event and took to Instagram after the final bell to write: "What a f***ing fight.Boxer and his brother arrested in the ring after starting mass brawl with sucker punchDeontay Wilder includes Tyson Fury in his top three KOs, 'I definitely knocked him out'"For me, I've got a bit of business left with the Ultimate Fighting Championship, two fights left on my contract.
