Mike Perry hopes his faceoff with Conor McGregor at BKFC 41 leads to a fight between them down the line.
Whether that’s realistic or not remains to be seen, but Perry certainly has more freedom than McGregor with his career, because “Platinum” revealed he’s a free agent following his second-round TKO of Luke Rockhold in Saturday’s main event at 1stBank Center in Broomfield, Colo.
“What’s next for me? Conor McGregor,” Perry said at the BKFC 41 post-fight press conference following his surprise faceoff with McGregor.” He likes to box, too. We can go throw hands. He gave me a faceoff. How cool was that? That’s what’s up. I’m real humble, to be honest, because I’ve been fighting a long time. I’ve been in some ups and downs and some tough fights. Some things didn’t go my way. These guys are coming over here and fighting me at what seems to be my best attributes. I’ve got a chin, I’ve got some hands and this is bare knuckle. People don’t like getting hit with that. So whoever wants the smoke, dog.”
