If Conor McGregor would ever throw down in a ring without gloves … BKFC star Houston Alexander tells TMZ Sports the dude would be a problem!!!

Alexander — a former UFC and Bellator fighter who’s been brawling professionally without mitts since 2021 — says Conor is so skilled with his hands … he thinks there’d be no issues for The Notorious if he chose to eventually go from the UFC to the BKFC.

Of course, the topic came up because Conor sure appeared to be interested in making the switch after watching Mike Perry‘s BKFC fight against Luke Rockhold back on April 30.

You’ll recall, McGregor stepped into the ring following the tilt … and he seemed to be down to fight Perry without mitts at a future date.

Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship

Alexander clearly believes it’d be a great fight despite Conor’s inexperience without gloves … something that seems to be quite the compliment, considering Alexander doesn’t feel that way about most MMA guys.

“If you’ve got MMA guys who just concentrate on just kicking or jiu-jitsu, please don’t get in this type of sport,” Alexander told us. “Because it’s going to expose your boxing and you’re going to get hurt.”

As for Alexander’s own fighting career … the 51-year-old is still going strong — he’s got another big BKFC fight on May 19 against Jeremy Smith — and he tells us he has absolutely zero desire to retire anytime soon.
