Mike Perry has once again tried to capture the attention of Conor McGregor, making another callout for a fight under the BKFC banner.
Since joining BKFC from the UFC in 2022, Mike Perry has become one of the biggest stars in the promotion, scoring five impressive wins under the BKFC banner.
His impressive streak in Bare-Knuckle earned him a huge opportunity against Jake Paul last July, but unfortunately ‘Platinum’ was knocked out by Paul in round six.
Since then, Perry hasn’t returned to BKFC after he was jokingly fired by BKFC co-owner, Conor McGregor.
Mike Perry makes Conor McGregor callout
Having not fought in the UFC since 2021, fans have lost hope that ‘The Notorious’ will return to the Octagon. And with that, the former UFC double champion has teased on several occasions that he will fight in BKFC at some point.
With Perry looking for a potential comeback to the ring, he has called the Irishman out for a fight, telling him to get off his ‘a–‘.
“Bare-knuckle is really fun and exciting, I’m 5-0 and I got a lot of credit over there, I’m the king of violence over there,” Perry told the Pound 4 Pound Podcast.
“Conor’s over there playing around. Get your a– back in the ring and let’s do something, Platinum Tequila vs Proper 12. Your whiskey dropped you, I’ll drop you,” he continued.
“Yeah (I would like to fight McGregor in BKFC), I would like to fight Jake (Paul) in bare-knuckle but he wouldn’t do it, so we made Dirty Boxing,” Perry said.
The former UFC star launched his own combat sports promotion last year called Dirty Boxing Championship, and even got Jon Jones onboard as a co-owner.
Will Conor McGregor return to the UFC?
Despite having previously teased at potentially fighting in BKFC, McGregor also dropped a huge hint recently regarding a potential return to the UFC.
However, UFC boss Dana White quickly came out and shut down any potential talks of an imminent McGregor return.
According to the UFC Anti-Doping database, McGregor still hasn’t registered a test session this year meaning he isn’t able to return until he has been in the testing pool for at least six months.
