Conor McGregor wasn’t far away from former Bare Knuckle FC rivals Mike Perry and Eddie Alvarez’s brawl at BKFC KnuckleMania VI.
Bare Knuckle FC continues to be one of the fastest-rising entities in combat sports, led by top executive Conor McGregor and the face of the promotion, Mike Perry. News about Perry’s next appearance in the BKFC ring is inevitable, after two top names were recently teased as potential opponents for his return.
As Perry prepares for his highly-anticipated return to the ring, he’s as feisty as ever, after attending BKFC KnuckleMania VI last weekend in Philadelphia. While in attendance, Perry ran into one of his former BKFC rivals, and things got ugly quickly.
Perry and former UFC lightweight champion Eddie Alvarez battled in one of the best fights in BKFC history in December 2023. Perry defeated Alvarez by second-round stoppage to add to his building resume.
While things were relatively cordial between Perry and Alvarez before and after their fight, things have quickly taken a turn, as evidenced by a ringside brawl at BKFC KnuckleMania VI.
