Mike Perry calls on Conor McGregor to accept ‘No. 1 fight in the world’ after impromptu BKFC 41 faceoff

Now that he’s seen him up close and personal, Mike Perry seems to be all in on chasing a fight with Conor McGregor.

“Conor, ‘Notorious’ Conor McGregor vs. ‘Platinum’ Mike Perry is the only fight to make,” Perry told McGregor directly during a TMZ interview posted Tuesday. “It is the No. 1 fight in the world. All the fans want it, we’ll throw hands, southpaw vs. orthodox, big power punchers. I’m the better boxer. And that’s no disrespect on you, mate. You’ve had an amazing career. You said you’re never retiring. I’m getting a little older myself. I think we’ve come a long way.

“I’ve definitely come a long way. You’ve been at the top. It’s my turn to take over. So you could just hand me the keys, or you could let me fight you for them.”
