The BKFC King of Violence says he’s lined up the opponent Conor McGregor had in mind for his highly anticipated UFC comeback.
Perry believes it’s another reason why he and Diaz could bring huge attention to their fight. Speaking to Ariel Helwani on The MMA Hour, he said: “We’re both big draws. We don’t need championships or organisations behind us.
We’re two of the top fighters in the world, and a lot of fans will tune in for this one. ” Mike Perry has a laugh about Conor McGregor during an interview Photo by Julio Aguilar/Getty Images During a chat with Ariel Helwani, Perry couldn’t resist making a few jokes at McGregor’s expense. Even so, the 34-year-old took time to praise the BKFC co-owner and UFC icon.
“Conor’s punching the air right now that it’s me and Nate instead of his trilogy,” Perry said. “‘Ah, that damn ‘Platinum’ Perry, King of Violence, working off my shine in bare knuckle. ’ He ain’t never fought nobody in bare knuckle.
