If you anticipated a Mike Perry–Conor McGregor showdown this year, you know exponentially more than the rest of us.
Most of us were not that clairvoyant, yet that is exactly how Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship ended its tremendously successful BKFC 41 pay-per-view Saturday night. Perry defeated Luke Rockhold in the BKFC 41 main event, then had a squared circle showdown with the UFC icon.
“What a great way to end the night,” says Perry. “Conor’s a fan of boxing. Maybe he’ll be a fan of real, bare-knuckle boxing without the pillows on his hands. He got aggressive with me. Conor knows he’s untouchable, but I’m a badass bare-knuckle boxer. If I heard ‘Toe The Line’ with him standing in front of me, I’d do what I do and I’d do it to him.”
