Darren Till has backed Conor McGregor to make a successful transition to bare-knuckle fighting once his UFC career is over.
Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship (BKFC) founder David Feldman has said he would "bet everything" that McGregor fights for the promotion once his UFC deal expires, with just one fight remaining on his contract.
In 2024, McGregor became a co-owner of BKFC, which Feldman founded in 2018.
Till, who will face fellow former UFC star Yoel Romero in his second bare-knuckle fight in Manchester on Saturday, believes McGregor can be successful in the emerging sport.
"I think Conor's a fighter's fighter. He's very good and slick with his hands, he's got big hands and he's got good punch power," Till told ESPN.
"I think if he trains correctly for it, I think he could do a lot of damage at his weight. He's big and he's strong, but he's just got to recover from his injuries now. I know he got really injured in his last fight. So yeah, if Conor wants it, Conor can get it."
McGregor sustained a knee injury in July when he fought Max Holloway in what was his first fight in five years.
Feldman previously told ESPN he expected McGregor to make the transition to bare-knuckle, saying: "He has one fight left with UFC, when that fight is done I would bet everything that he will be fighting for BKFC.
"I'm definitely enthused by his enthusiasm. I didn't think we were going to get this out of him. I didn't think he was going to fall in love with the sport as much as he did."
