Conor McGregor has a healthy appreciation for Queensberry Rules, but there is something about bare-knuckle boxing that seems to light a certain fire inside him. BKFC’s partial owner enthusiastically retweeted a clip of Jeremy Stephens and Mike Perry bantering to promote their headlining fight at BKFC 82.
It’s an intriguing card for BKFC‘s first foray into New Jersey, with former UFC champion Frankie Edgar also making his debut in gloveless combat on that October 4th card.
The two men trash-talked each other ahead of their King of Violence title fight with some loose mentions about wanting to fight McGregor himself someday, interspersed into the earlier parts of the clip shared by the DAZN Sport X account.
