As for Perry, the BKFC star said, “ I think it’s just you know he does that he tweets, and he gets people to attach to something.” He revealed that since ‘Mystic Mac’ was one of the most famous fighters of UFC and a partial owner of BKFC, the fans took his word as the Bible. He explained, “Whatever he says he knows that we had that moment that night in history. And it was what people were talking about.”
Perry explained that he said something outrageous so that people would tune in to what he was saying. Lastly, he added, “But let’s be honest like everybody wants to see me fight bare knuckle again you know.”
Perry is undeniably at the peak of his powers in BKFC. He is their key selling point as of now, and he knows it. So, the welterweight did not seem all too stressed about McGregor’s ultimatum.

He even gave a new proposition to Perry. Paul said, “We will hire you into Betr as a partnership and give you some sort of role.” He still was not confirmed about what job he would be giving to the fighter, but he was adamant about getting him on board with his company.
Perry already has his own company called the Dirty Boxing Championship. Along with that, he is also a part owner of BKFC. On top of that, Jake Paul is also ready to offer him a position in his own company and seems to have become his friend. Do you think Perry should continue fighting in the BKFC or join Betr?
