According to BKFC president David Feldman, McGregor has promised to face off against the winner of Perry and Stephens in a BKFC match.

“We were supposed to have my partner and friend Conor McGregor here today, but he couldn’t make it at the last minute because he’s actually very, very focused,” Feldman said. “It’s the best Conor McGregor I’ve ever seen. He’s training hard because he said one of you two guys [Perry/Stephens] is probably his next fight. So I just want to send over a message from Conor McGregor to kick this off.”

Perry spoke to us about wanting McGregor to follow through on his promise to fight him.

“It would an honor to face Conor McGregor. I am grateful for all the promotion he’s done for the company. I could see a pure violent night if me and him were to fight in bareknuckle.”
