Overview
- Mike Perry defends the BKFC King of Violence title against Jeremy Stephens on Saturday at Newark’s Prudential Center, streaming on DAZN.
- At the pre-fight press conference, BKFC part-owner Conor McGregor told Perry, “If you don’t perform, you’re gone,” and pressed that a win should lead to a BKFC world title shot.
- The press event closed with a tense Perry–Stephens face-off as McGregor stood between them at BKFC president David Feldman’s request.
- Frankie Edgar was removed from the card due to medical/posting issues, with Timmy Mason stepping in on short notice to face Jimmie Rivera in a featured bout.
- Feldman said Darren Till has been “nonstop calling” and that talks to book Till in BKFC, potentially against Perry, are ramping up, as Christine Ferea vs. Jessica Borga also crowns the inaugural Queen of Violence.
