Just when you think you’ve seen it all in combat sports, Rayne Wells raises the bar with one of the most extraordinary tattoos you’ve ever laid eyes on. The Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship (BKFC) welterweight took centre stage at the weigh-in for his matchup against Almat Jumanov and unveiled a massive back tattoo featuring none other than UFC icon Conor McGregor and BKFC founder Dave Feldman.
Your first reaction might be disbelief, but Wells’ tattoo is indeed a homage to two significant figures in the fighting world. As you look closely, you’ll see McGregor sporting his iconic pose with fists raised, while Feldman stands alongside him with a beaming smile. This unusual tribute comes just a few months after McGregor became a co-owner of BKFC in April, making the tattoo even more significant for Wells.
Wells, who has taken to calling himself “The Guy on the Couch”, has had a rough start to his combat sports career, losing his BKFC debut in April to Angel Hernandez in a stunning eight seconds. Wells lost to Almat “Kazakh Titan” Jumanov at 1:41 of the opening round at BKFC 66, marking Wells’ second consecutive loss and bringing his record to 0-2. His mixed martial arts (MMA) track record isn’t much better, as he stands at 0-2, with both losses coming by way of stoppage.
As a fan, you can only marvel at Wells’ bold move to immortalise the faces of his bosses on his back. It’s a testament to not only his commitment to BKFC but also his unique way of aligning himself with the power players in the organisation. It raises the question: what goes through your mind when you decide to permanently ink a likeness of your boss onto your body? Well, in the fight game, perhaps it’s about showing allegiance, respect, or even a hint of aspiration to rise within the ranks.
Your curiosity about Rayne Wells’ tattoo and his upcoming fight is more than justified. His audacious artwork and the surrounding narratives may just add a new layer of intrigue to an evolving landscape in combat sports. Whether he fares better in his next bout or not, one thing is for sure: Wells has certainly captured attention with his striking tattoo tribute to McGregor and Feldman.
