Conor McGregor was stunned from the comfort of his own home as Bobby Henry scored a brutal knokcout on his BKFC debut.
McGregor was watching from afar for the latest event of his bare-knuckle fighting promotion BKFC.
The BKFC 75 event took place at the Tingley Coliseum in Albuquerque, New Mexico, and it saw new signing Henry make his debut.
‘Heavy Hands’ was entering the bare-knuckle ranks having carried a perfect 5-0 record in traditional boxing.
And he took on Kasey Yates in his maiden appearance under the promotional banner at the top of the preliminary bill.
Yates was the more active fighter on the night and he looked to weather the early storm.
But in the fifth and final round, Henry detonated a simply sensational uppercut which landed flush on the chin of Yates.
It immediately knocked him out the cold, and saw him vertically collapse on his back to the canvas.
His head bounced off the ring floor and the referee immediately stepped in to halt the contest, as Yates lay motionless.
It was a truly savage KO and a big statement on debut, which even caught the eye of McGregor.
The UFC superstar and promotion’s owner amused fans all night, as he provided video commentary of the event from his bed.
And when reacting to the bout, he incredible shouted: “You’re not getting that anywhere else! We have the best KOs.

“Whoa, show me that knockout again. What a f****** knockout. Look at the crafted reply.
“You really are not getting that anywhere else.”
McGregor is no stranger to giving animated reactions to BKFC KOs, since acquiring a minority stake in the promotion in April 2024.
The Irishman was left reeling after witnessing a record-breaking two-second KO in December last year, as Justin Watson flattened Cole Ferrell.
And he has regularly attended some events, where he even once clambered in the ring and faced off with Mike Perry.
Conor McGregor co-owns the bare-knuckle fighting leagueGettyMcGregor hasn’t fought in the UFC since his breaking his leg in 2021.
But he has suggested he would be open to appearing under his own banner in BKFC, a truly big career change.
He said: “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.
“No promotion. No promo. No nothing. Just fighting a random fight on the card.
“That could be what the future holds.”
