McGregor Puts Perry on Notice as BKFC 82 Title Fight With Stephens Lands in Newark

McGregor’s very public warning highlights BKFC’s bid to make the main event a launchpad toward a Mundell world-title bout.

Overview

  • Mike Perry defends the King of Violence title against Jeremy Stephens on Saturday at the Prudential Center in Newark, airing on DAZN pay-per-view.
  • BKFC part-owner Conor McGregor told Perry at the press conference, “If you don’t perform, you’re gone,” before stepping in for an intense face-off.
  • BKFC president David Feldman said the winner could be guided toward middleweight champion David Mundell, and McGregor insisted Perry must fight for a world title next if he wins.
  • Feldman said negotiations to bring Darren Till to BKFC for a potential Perry matchup are ramping up, describing Till as “nonstop calling” as they explore a UK deal.
  • Executives said they are about to go into contract on a BKFC video game, as weigh-ins and a final staredown closed a charged fight week.
