Mike Perry played spoiler to Luke Rockhold’s post-UFC venture when he emerged victorious in Saturday’s BKFC 41 main event.
Perry continued to shine in the world of bare knuckle boxing when he picked up arguably the biggest win of his combat sports career with a second-round TKO of former UFC champion Rockhold in their middleweight headliner, which took place at 1stBank Center in Broomfield, Colo.
After the fight, former two-division UFC champ Conor McGregor stepped in the ring for an unexpected faceoff with Perry.
