The ’Notorious’ recently surprised everybody by becoming the new co-owner of Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship. However, Conor McGregor couldn’t even escape a call-out from his own fighter. While it was a great financial move, McGregor has now got a call out from BKFC superstar Mike Perry for a fight.
Mike Perry recently did an interview with MMA Fighting where he talked about his intentions to become his own boss. The fighter revealed that he’s doing his part in the promotion and wants to fight Conor McGregor.
But I want it to be known that I am my own boss and I am also a part owner of the BKFC, and I’m in here doing work. So maybe a Conor fight.

McGregor revealed his involvement in BKFC this past weekend during the BKFC KnuckleMania 4 event, making him a co-owner of the company. In the same event, ‘King of Violence’ defeated Thiago Alves via a first-round KO, further solidifying his position in the promotion.
“I want it to be known that I am my own boss and I am also part owner of the BKFC, and I’m in here doing work.”
Mike Perry thinks “maybe a Conor [McGregor] fight [could happen],” but it’ll be a matter of timing.

Last year, McGregor attended a BKFC event and went on to have a showdown with Perry in the center of the ring. The rivalry between these two started back then and is yet to be settled. However, Perry isn’t the only one who wants McGregor in a Bare Knuckle fight.
Ryan Garcia wants a bare-knuckle showdown with Conor McGregor
Ryan Garcia is currently on the top of the world after his latest knockout victory over super lightweight champion Devin Haney. The fighter pulled out one of the most shocking upsets in recent boxing history. However, ‘KingRy’ doesn’t have any plans to stop anytime soon.

The boxer revealed that as a part of the bet the winner will get McGregor’s Irish whiskey ownership. This was after McGregor threw shade at Garcia for his alleged steroid use before his fight against Haney. Before this incident, the two were on good terms, with McGregor even sympathizing with Garcia after his loss to Gervonta Davis.

McGregor is currently slated for his much anticipated UFC return at UFC 303 against Michael Chandler. However, it won’t be surprising to see him take part in other ventures other than MMA. However, a bare-knuckle fight against Garcia might get a good reaction from fight fans.
