Conor McGregor, who has ownership stake in the company, once threatened to fire \u201cPlatinum\u201d for taking a boxing match with Jake Paul and getting in business with his own Dirty Boxing Championship promotion.<\/p>\n<p>More recently, Feldman <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bjpenn.com\/bare-knuckle-boxing\/bare-knuckle-boxing-championship\/bkfc-boss-had-big-plans-for-mike-perry-before-mvp-offered-nate-diaz-fight\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">claimed he had a big fight in the works<\/a> for Perry before the former UFC star signed on for an MMA bout with Diaz on the undercard of Ronda Rousey vs. Gina Carano. While Feldman insisted his relationship with Perry isn\u2019t damaged, there was some underlying tension.<\/p>\n<p>Perry spoke to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mmafighting.com\/bkfc\/480884\/thats-not-fair-bro-mike-perry-reacts-to-bkfc-boss-response-to-nate-diaz-fight\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">MMAFighting.com<\/a> and insisted there is no bad blood with Feldman or BKFC. Still, he wishes that there weren\u2019t some frustrations with the promotion he helped build.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat\u2019s not fair, bro, because there\u2019s lots of talk \u2013 [expletive] moves, like [expletive] changes,\u201d Perry said. \u201cLike, DBX changed.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou know, last year, I was going to fight in January, February, March, April, May, June, July, August, September, [and] end up fighting in October. Dude, I was supposed to fight every month in \u201825. Every month they told me, \u2018Next month.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo, whoever comes to the table, man, I\u2019m here for the shit, but [with] time to prepare, knowing what\u2019s not going to change. That\u2019s one thing about this fight with me and Nate is like, me and Nate signed a fight. We announced it. It [expletive] happens. These fighters that get fights announced and then the shit changes, the fight falls out, something happens, doesn\u2019t happen, like we show up to fight. I don\u2019t want to jinx it now, but we\u2019re pretty solid on we\u2019re going to fight.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Perry figures to be in for a significant payday when he shares the cage with Diaz for the first live MMA event airing on Netflix. The bout will take place on May 16.<\/p>\n<p>Do you think Mike Perry will return to BKFC after his MMA showdown with Nate Diaz?
