Highlights! Perry Makes Rockhold Quit, Squares Off With McGregor
Mike Perry continued his bare knuckle takeover last night (Sat., April 29, 2023) at BKFC 41 live on FITE.TV pay-per-view (PPV) from inside 1stBank Center in Broomfield, Colo., when “Platinum” put a stop to former UFC middleweight champion Luke Rockhold via second-round TKO in the main event.
Rockhold landed the biggest punch of the first round with a massive left hand. Perry was hurt, but “Platinum” returned with his own power shot that stunned Rockhold. Both fighters found a home for big punches early into the second. Perry had a little more steam on his shots, though, and it started to show.
After an exchange along the ropes Rockhold stopped in his tracks and took out his mouthpiece. The referee moved in to see what the issue was and Rockhold indicted he had a problem with his mouth and couldn’t continue. The fight was waved off and “Platinum” was awarded the win.
After the fight, Perry called for a faceoff with former UFC double champ Conor McGregor, who was sitting ringside. “Notorious” eventually made his way to the ring and had a nice staredown with Perry. The two were cordial, but McGregor made it known he was never quitting combat sports.
