BKFC 41: Mike Perry makes Luke Rockhold quit, faces off with Conor McGregor (Video)
By Amy Kaplan
Mike Perry finished Luke Rockhold and then called out Conor McGregor at BKFC 41.
Two UFC veterans, Mike Perry and Luke Rockhold, squared off in the BKFC right to headline the action on BKFC 41, arguably the biggest card the promotions has hosted to date. With two other UFC veterans in the co-main event position, it was time to see how MMA fighters performed under the different rules.
It took Perry less than two rounds to finish Rockhold but the stoppage was confusing. It appeared that Rockhold spit his mouthpiece out and quit mid-round.

After the fight, Perry called out Conor McGregor who was in the crowd and they did a friendly face-off that will likely amount to absolutely nothing.

Perry had already gotten used to bare-knuckle having performed on two prior BKFC cards and secured wins over Julian Lane and Michael "Venom" Page. But it was Rockhold's first fight post his UFC career.
