Conor McGregor can't his hide feelings about bare-knuckle ring girl
Conor McGregor has been left stunned by the beauty of the newly-crowned Ring Girl of the Year, Kaitlyn Bertrand, who works for the UFC legend's Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship Conor McGregor was left in awe of Kaitlyn Bertrand as she scooped up the Ring Girl of the Year accolade and turned heads on social media with her striking looks. The 25 year old American, who juggles her time between real estate gigs and ring girl commitments, clinched the title for a second year running. Posting on Instagram to celebrate with her 154,000 followers, Bertrand beamed with joy and penned her thanks: "I'm beyond grateful to have been voted Ring Girl of the Year for both 2023 and 2024!". She went on: "This past year has been a whirlwind of back to back shows, and I can't thank you all enough for the love and support. It means everything to be recognised doing what I love." MMA superstar McGregor was among the first to applaud Bertrand's achievement, with a heartfelt "My World Champion!" dropping in the comments of her post. Her colleague Chelsea Brea was also brimming with pride, sharing: "Proud of you, love you." Support poured in from fans too, as one lavished praise with "Congrats beautiful," and another lauded her, saying "Definitely the hottest ring girl to ever exist!" Bertrand's career has flourished primarily with BKFC (Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship), although she presents herself as a Floridian realtor with Italian and Scottish ancestry. Aside from her ring girl role, Bertrand has dabbled in X-rated content creation and graced the cover of Fitness Gurls magazine in 2023. Her resume extends to appearances at ProBox TV events, an enterprise backed by boxing legends Roy Jones Jr, Antonio Tarver and Paulie Malignaggi. Bertrand, the property-selling sensation who's taken social media by storm, has her eyes set on clinching her third Ring Girl of the Year title in 2025, although she's got a way to go before catching up with Arianny Celeste, one of the most iconic ring girls globally, who boasts five wins for the distinguished honour. Meanwhile, having formed an alliance with BKFC, Conor McGregor has openly expressed his eagerness to dive into the world of bare-knuckle boxing despite his ongoing UFC contract. The ex-dual-weight UFC champion who's also become part-owner of BKFC assured his fans in a statement during a BKFC press conference earlier this year that he's gearing up to swap padded gloves for the thrill of bare-knuckle combat. "Yes. Yes. The warrior spirit burns strong inside me," McGregor declared assertively at the press event. "For sure. If you think I'm up here giving these speeches and leading these men into battle and I won't step in there myself, think again. For sure. Conor McGregor will fight in Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship – mark my words." Aiming higher than merely participating, McGregor voiced his ambition to dominate the scene, stating: "I'd like a world title in this company, "I would wish to be the Bare Knuckle world champion. That is a significant belt to hold in your career. Nobody from boxing to mixed martial arts can speak nothing bad on a Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship world champion. So for sure, I'd be coming in looking for the world title. "There are many bouts, showcase bouts you could say. Michael Perry, Mike Perry. You could say Jeremy Stephens. You could say a rematch against Eddie Alvarez. You could say many matches. But the lightweight title, who is the champion right now, lightweight or welterweight? Let's see. I'm open. We'll see when it comes."

Conor McGregor gushes over BKFC's Kaitlyn Bertrand after Ring Girl of the Year win (Image Source: Getty Images) Former UFC champion Conor McGregor could not help but express his excitement as he took to the public to congratulate Kaitlyn Bertrand on winning the Ring Girl of the Year award for the second time in a row. The 25-year-old American, who fights for Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship ( BKFC ), where Conor McGregor has a minority stake, received high praise from the Irish MMA superstar following the recent achievement announcement. Conor McGregor's enthusiastic response highlights the growing BKFC connection. Kaitlyn Bertrand posted on Instagram last week to announce her win of the prestigious Ring Girl of the Year for 2023 and 2024 to her 154,000 followers. Conor McGregor was quick to reply with a brief but strong comment, 'My World Champion!'. The interaction brings to focus the increasing relationship the UFC legend has with the bare-knuckle promotion he has invested in and expressed interest in fighting in. View this post on Instagram A post shared by ColorsTV (@colorstv) Florida's Kaitlyn Bertrand, who combines her ring girl profession with a career in real estate, has become one of the most recognisable faces in combat sports entertainment rather quickly. Having an Italian and Scottish background, she has diversified her career outside BKFC as she was working with ProBox TV as well – a promotion established by boxing legends Roy Jones Jr, Antonio Tarver, and Paulie Malignaggi. Conor McGregor's BKFC fighting aspirations are gaining momentum. Conor McGregor's affiliation with BKFC goes beyond commercial interests because the former dual-weight champion of UFC has always proclaimed his wish to fight in bare-knuckle boxing. Despite being under UFC contract, Conor McGregor said earlier this year: 'If you think that I am all up here giving these speeches and leading these men into battle and I won't step in there myself, think again.' The Dublin native has called out a list of possible opponents, including Mike Perry, Jeremy Stephens, and former UFC rival Eddie Alvarez. Conor McGregor has gone out to state championship ambitions, 'I'd like a world title in this company. I would like to become the Bare Knuckle world champion." Fans can watch BKFC events live on the promotion's app and other pay-per-view platforms, with their next big event set for June 2025 in Miami, Florida.

While Kaitlyn Bertrand's back-to-back Ring Girl honours are impressive, she still trails the record held by UFC ring girl Arianny Celeste, who has claimed the title five times throughout her career. Nevertheless, Bertrand's rising popularity and Conor McGregor's public support suggest her influence in combat sports continues to grow substantially.
