Conor McGregor Has Been Called Out by One of the Most Feared Bare-Knuckle Boxing Stars on the Planet… Tyler Goodjohn Has Given His Two Cents on What Would Happen if The Notorious Entered the Brutal World of Bare-Knuckle Boxing…
Bare-Knuckle boxing is in rude health at the moment. With Artem Lobov set to take on Paulie Malignaggi in the sport’s biggest ever fight in June, it’s never been closer to having a mainstream audience. When you’ve got a former boxing champion and Conor McGregor’s best mate taking each other on, you’re guaranteed some viewers.
But this sport is so raw and brutal that many fight fans are flocking to watch it because it strips back all the rubbish from the modern combat sports era. If you want sheer violence, guaranteed blood, and some mangled faces then this is the sport for you.
Now one of bare-knuckle boxing’s biggest stars has sent a message to Conor McGregor. Tyler Goodjohn has told the Irishman to stay away from the sport because he’s just going to get hurt like he’s never been before.

Downward Spiral
McGregor has lost two of his last four MMA fights, as well as a boxing match against Floyd Mayweather. This has led many people to say that he’s finished and lacking the hunger that drove him to his early success. Goodjohn said that if he’s looking at bare-knuckle boxing – which he is obviously not – then it would be a bad move. He said:
“He’s basically getting f**ked up in UFC now, so he’s now looking for different avenues where he can make more money and not get f**ked up. If he’s looking at Bare Knuckle Boxing, it’s totally the wrong move especially against people like me. At the end of the day, his boxing is basic.”

Damage
Goodjohn explained how much damage McGregor would take if he did fight with no gloves. Bare-knuckle boxing is notorious for leaving fighters’ faces bloody, shredded and swollen. Jason Knight and Artem Lobov are shining examples of what happens when you leave it all out in the ring in this type of fight. Knight even spat out a tooth at one point in their classic war. Another common injury is broken hands.
“Without these gloves on, he would be getting f**king damaged there’s no joke about that. My skillset is just so much better than his,” Goodjohn said.

Delusional
While you can’t blame a man for taking the time to promote himself, Goodjohn went a little bit too far when he tried to compare his social media impact to McGregor’s. He raised the point that his highlights reel video went viral with over a million hits in a week. He said:
“I’ve had 1.2 million views in a week on my highlight video. People know my skills, people know how talented I am and people know how f**king tough I am as well.”
Yes mate, keep dreaming. McGregor has 30.8 million Instagram followers. He doesn’t even know what a Tyler Goodjohn is. Do you think he could be tempted into a bare-knuckle boxing war with somebody like Paulie Malignaggi in the future though? It’s a funny world and if the money was right then who knows?
