Mike Perry believes Conor McGregor fight a strong | MMA News
Conor McGregor, now part-owner of Bare-Knuckle Fighting Championship, is eager on competing in the game and needs to fight for the King of Violence world title, according to champion Mike Perry.
Despite his legal troubles, ‘The Notorious’ stays assured about a return to fight sports activities. The Irishman hasn’t competed in over 4 years, with his most current outing seeing him undergo a devastating leg break that pressured an prolonged period away from the cage.
Reports of his return are starting to heat up, as Conor McGregor himself has posted teasing footage online displaying clips of his work in the health club. While many anticipated his next transfer to be another unforgettable stroll to the octagon, that might not be the case.
According to Mike Perry, McGregor may very well be eyeing a headlining look on a BKFC card.
“Conor’s done great promoting with the company,” Perry said. “I’m very happy to have been involved and had brought him in the ring back in April ’23.”
“To get to fight him, for him to be able to get back in the ring again… To fight Conor would be incredible because I know that he does get the itch.”
“I know he’s very busy… He’s put himself in a great place in life, where he doesn’t need to fight, but you can see the desire that he has.”
“There’s something that interests him about bare knuckle. Other than the fact that other big names in the fight game, whether it be boxing or MMA, they look at bare knuckle and they’re like, ‘I don’t really wanna do that.'”
“There’s real, real big money in it. For Conor to come, get a huge money offer on the table against the top bare knuckle guy like myself, I think it would just be fun for all parties involved.”

Mike Perry has his sights firmly set on his Jeremy Stephens conflict in October, but believes a standout efficiency may earn him a shot at Conor McGregor.
“Everybody knows Conor’s got good hands… I think we’re in for a good fight on October 4th, that’s what matters right now.”
“I’m gonna keep building myself up and, if I make enough noise and put on a great enough show and performance, I think the possibilities of Conor coming in a fighting could be very real.”
