Mike Perry will be back in action at BKFC 82 early next month and from the sound of it he\u2019ll be fighting to keep his job.<\/p>\n
\u201cPlatinum\u201d remains one of the biggest stars on the BKFC roster and his upcoming main event clash with Jeremy Stephens next weekend in Newark, New Jersey, will be another opportunity for Perry to prove he\u2019s one of the baddest dudes in combat sports. Perry could extend his undefeated BKFC record to 6-0 with a win over \u201cLil Heathen.\u201d<\/p>\n
Unfortunately for Perry, winning might not be enough in the eyes of BKFC part-owner, Conor McGregor. That\u2019s because McGregor already put Perry on public blast for getting knocked out by Jake Paul in a boxing match back in July 2024. In fact, McGregor was so upset with Perry\u2019s performance that he tried to fire him from BKFC<\/a>, even though the fight wasn\u2019t a bareknuckle contest.<\/p>\n McGregor, who is gearing up for his own combat comeback<\/a>, took to social media earlier this week to warn Perry that he must perform at his best against Stephens. If not, \u201cNotorious\u201d is ready to fire him again in front of 17,000 BKFC fight fans.<\/p>\n \u201cMike Perry is back to @bareknucklefc<\/a> October 4th, New Jersey, on trial basis only,\u201c wrote McGregor. \u201cIf he underperforms, I SACK HIM AGAIN LIVE IN FRONT OF 17,000 FANS.
