Conor McGregor 'f*****g livid' with decision made by his own company

Conor McGregor was left 'f*****g livid' over the weekend as he took to social media to rant about a Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship (BKFC) event.
McGregor is part owner of BKFC and has previously expressed his desire to get in on the action.
Over the weekend, BKFC 77 was held in Birmingham with Connor Tierney defending his UK welterweight title against Danny Christie in the headlining bout.

The home fighter dominated the contest with the referee stopping the bout after three rounds.
Strangely, Tierney never got the opportunity to speak after the contest which is typically custom with sporting events such as boxing, MMA and BKFC.
The decision to not let Tierney speak to viewers angered McGregor who took to social media in a now-deleted expletive rant. McGregor is part owner of BKFC and has previously expressed his desire to get in on the action. Pic: Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship
Branding the contest 'incredible' and 'high-level,' McGregor called: 'Let's hear the mic, get the mic in there. Get him on the mic. Where's the mic? Where's the mic? Mic, mic, mic, mic.
'Get the mic in there, get the f*****g mic in there! Who called it there? The referee? The doctor? Who called that?!'
The Dubliner continued: 'Ah, sure, who needs to hear from the hometown hero who just defended his belt in his hometown in a sold-out arena in the biggest fight of his life in front of all his people? Conor McGregor. Pic: Tucker Carlson via YouTube
'I am f*****g livid here! Absolutely ridiculous.'
Last year, McGregor was set to fight Michael Chandler in what would have been his first contest in more than three years.
The fight was called off due to McGregor sustaining a broken toe.
The Dublin fighter has long insisted that he will be back in the Octagon but has also teased a move into the BKFC ring.
He previously told The Schmo 'one of these days you'll just hear my music come onto this stage in Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship and I'll have my fist wrapped with no gloves for a fight, out of nowhere.'

How much did Padraig Harrington earn from US Senior Open win?

Padraig Harrington is in the money after the Dublin golfer won the US Senior Open Championship for the second time in his career. The 2025 edition of the annual golfing event took place at Colarado Springs in the United States of America with Harrington seeing off Stewart Cink and Miguel Angel Jiminez for the victory over the weekend. It was still all to play for on Saturday with Harrington tied on the last round after a 68, as was Aussie Mark Hensby and Cink.

Pic:Ultimately, the 53-year-old finished on -11, leading him to surpass American Cink by one stroke while Jiminez was a shot back after a -7 round of 63. It is the Dubliner's tenth Senior's Tour title and his second US Senior Open Championship title, having beaten Steve Stricker to victory in 2022. As well as a generous pay packet, Harrington has earned himself an exemption for the 2026 US Open, which is set to take place at Shinnecock Hills Golf Club, Southampton.

Pic:The total purse for golfers at the 2025 US Senior Open was $4,000,000 (€3,409,057), with 60 places awarded prizes. For his victory at the championships, Padraig won himself $800,000 (€681,956), while Cink claimed $432,000 (€368,267). Rathfarnham native Padraig's last championship victory came in October 2024 when he won the Simmons Bank Championships. The father-of-two now sets himself up for the Open at Portrush which takes place next month. The 153rd Open Championship takes place from Sunday, July 13 to Sunday, July 20, and will be the third time the event has been hosted by Royal Portrush. Rory McIlroy and Shane Lowry are also set to fly the flag for the Irish at the championships, with Lowry hoping to continue on from his success in 2019 when he won the tournament.

Pádraig Harrington follows burger gorge with second US Senior Open win but admits: ‘It's all about winning'

While he was concerned about a charging Miguel Angel Jimenez, who eventually finished two behind after a stunning 64, Harrington was just a shot ahead of Stewart Cink playing the 72nd hole at the Broadmoor in Colorado Springs. The American had missed chances from around six feet on the previous two greens, and fearing he'd eventually pay for his misses with the blade coming down the stretch, Harrington had a decision to make playing the 18th. Should he play for the heart of the green and hope a two-putt par would be enough, or go for the pin with Cink 30 yards closer to the green? His caddie, Ronan Flood, had the answer. 'I said, look, if I birdie this hole, I win,' Harrington recalled after carding a three-under 67 to Cink's 68 to win by a shot on 11 under. 'It takes all the permutations out of it. 'Ronan then said something to me, reminded me of something that Hale Irwin told me over the years. 'He said, always hit the shot you would hit if you're one shot behind, and that kind of gave good clarity to what I was going to do. 'Obviously, if you're one shot behind, you'd be hitting at that pin, you've got to take it on. I think it made the decision, but it gave me clarity to that decision that I was confident that I was doing the right thing.' The Dubliner hit a 'half wedge' that danced to a halt seven feet away, heaping the pressure on Cink, whose second spun back 35 feet from the hole. 'It skipped up there one bounce, stopped,' Harrington recounted. 'It couldn't have been close enough. What was it, six, seven feet? I would have struggled to two-putt from 40 feet, so I was very happy to have two to win from six feet.' Cink missed his long-range birdie attempt, and while Harrington missed too, he enjoyed tapping in for his second US Senior Open win since 2022 and his tenth victory as a senior with his wife Caroline and son Paddy in the gallery. Winning never gets old, and Harrington is loving life as a senior, where the entire field is battling scar tissue but still hoping to relive the glory days. 'I definitely make an effort to enjoy my tournaments more, enjoy what's going on around them,' he explained. 'It's not all work. And having your family here is part of that. 'Like on Wednesday night, what's Wednesday night? I went for an In-N-Out burger. I didn't eat a French fry or a burger for 10 to 15 years of my career. Everything was about getting the right diet, all that sort of thing. 'Like before the start of the tournament, I actually had two double-doubles.' That had the media chuckling and Harrington is enjoying life after 50, or life post-tour 'burn out'. 'I'm a more relaxed person,' he said. 'Still not relaxed, but more relaxed than I was as a younger player. 'It's unbelievable. We're so much better together at this stage of our careers. 'Everybody is happier and friendlier. We're not half as grumpy as we were when we were young guys. 'Most of us would have burnt out in golf. You put so much into your golfing career, you burn out. Usually, you last about 20 years, 15 to 20 years is the burn-out period. The Champions Tour is a new lease of life. 'The only way you can kind of do it is do it with a different attitude and a new attitude. As I said, it's about, I suppose, enjoying your past glories now and reliving them.' Getting the breaks at the right time remains one of the keys to winning at any age and Harrington admitted his chip-in birdie at the last on Saturday was big. 'It could have been a three-shot swing,' he confessed. 'Mark (Hensby) and Stewart looked like they were going to make birdie to go to nine under. Mine was going to go by. 'As it turned out, it could have gone by five, six feet…. For sure, it was a big boost. It looked like it did carry into today.' As for what his second senior major meant to him, he had no doubt. 'Winning,' he said. 'It's all about winning.'
