Mike Perry on McGregor’s BKFC Ownership: “I’m My Own Boss”
McGregor Joins BKFC as Co-Owner
Before the BKFC Knucklemania 4 event, it was publicly revealed that Conor McGregor had become a new co-owner of the organization. BKFC President David Feldman celebrated this partnership, expressing his hope that McGregor will become actively involved in various aspects of the business.
Perry’s Challenge to McGregor
Mike Perry, BKFC’s standout performer, sees himself as the ideal candidate to welcome McGregor into the BKFC realm. Perry commented on McGregor’s involvement, appreciating the attention it brings: “No one markets like Conor. Even the video where he announced it was flashy.”
However, Perry was quick to assert his independence within the organization: “I want it to be known that I am my own boss and that I am also a co-owner in BKFC, and I’m here working. So, there might be a match against Conor.”

McGregor’s Future in BKFC and UFC
Perry acknowledges the challenges of pulling McGregor away from the UFC, where he is contracted for two more fights, including a summer bout against Michael Chandler. Perry remarked, “He still has two [fights] left on his UFC contract. After he fights Michael Chandler, he will have one left, and then UFC will come to the negotiating table, probably trying to make a deal and likely offering the best possible.”
In addition to McGregor, Perry has also challenged former UFC talent Darren Till, leaving fans wondering who will be willing to face him after his remarkable performances in BKFC, including victories over Luke Rockhold, Eddie Alvarez, and Michael Page.
