With just three days until Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship’s (BKFC) blockbuster BKFC 82 event at the Prudential Center, the air is thick with anticipation—and unresolved tension. Mike Perry, preparing for his BKFC return against Jeremy Stephens on October 4, played it cool but couldn’t hide his intrigue. “He’s actually very, very focused… the best Conor McGregor I’ve ever seen,” Feldman claimed, fueling speculation of “The Notorious” making his bare-knuckle debut. Fans erupted online, with posts urging McGregor to “fight Mike Perry” garnering thousands of interactions. A win could propel him toward that elusive Conor McGregor showdown or at least silence the doubters.
