BKFC 41: Perry vs Rockhold 4/29 8PM

[goOb]

Yeah usually even if you are just having amateur bouts one of the first things they should tell you to get at a boxing Gym is a custom mouthpiece from your dentist. For a seasoned pro to not have that is weird as hell. The guy has a whole Team around him, how the hell did nobody take care of this?

Exactly! He’s been fighting long enough to know this as well. Makes me think he has no one around him with a head on their shoulders or possibly just a bunch of yes men.

 

[Bobble Head]

They may want him, but he should stay where he is. He is a star in BKFC making good money. He’s also undefeated so far, so he seems to have found his calling. Good for him!

 

[Kenny Powerth]

I wouldn’t mind seeing Rothwell back for one last run (not saying he would ever be a champ)

 

[Sasha]

There's... un petit je ne sais quoi that makes me think he's gonna stay in BKFC

 

[Thesnake101]

There would be no point to do that from their perspective.

Platinum isn't suddenly going to regain the form he had at the start of his UFC run nor will he make a rise through the ranks, and BKB isn't really a competitor they have to worry about.

 

[Fergelmince]

Will the UFC try to re-sign Mike Perry?

I doubt the UFC would offer the same amount that BKFC would to keep him. But if the UFC resigned him it would kind of be a significant blow to BKFC and then the UFC can set up Perry vs Conor which would likely be a huge fight.

That's an interesting consideration, given the Combat market right now. I doubt it, though. It seems like they'll sign a big name to a lot of money if they look like they can contend for a title, and I don't think Perry is that guy now. He's getting paid way more than he did in the UFC, so I would think they'd have to offer something similar for him to be interested, and I doubt they'd want to do that. I could be wrong though, considering they re-signed FKL.

No. Things are perfect the way they are now.

Perry is the human personification of Bareknuckle Boxing.

This lol.

There isn't any MMA fighter more suited for Bareknuckle than Perry.

And funnily enough, Luke was probably the least suited lol.

 

[oscerthegrouch]

If they did it only help him as BKC will match is undefeated there.. i dont think UFC wants him...

 

[Slapjit]

I really don't see him leaving.

Perry's earning potential will grow exponentially if he keeps winning and crushing post fight interviews like he did last night, and I'm sure BKFC will gladly give him the push he needs on social media to continue growing his audience as well.

Slim chance of that happening in the UFC. UFC would give him 1 PPV fight for his "comeback", then he'll be stuck on the featured prelims with an occasional ESPN main card fight thrown in. Even if he got the Paddy treatment, he wouldn't be the "star" of the org. Just another podcast slut being tossed around for ad revenue.

BKFC is for dogs, not just guys cut by the UFC

I hope you're not suggesting Eddie was cut?

After Poirier fight UFC offered him 300k/300k, he signed with ONE making 950K a fight

 

[RonnyB]

BS, Chad won more rounds.

3 is more than 2 you know that right?

No case for Mendes winning 1,3 or 5

 

[HHJ]

Not really. I've done enough in sessions to intoxicate a small village... it doesn't make me angry, ever. Booze can and has though. But yeah certain drugs don't work well with people - booze makes everybody angrier but coke doesn't generally make people angry... other than me I've been around endless coke heads too... chatty, euphoric, rambly, all that but not angry... Conor has issues for sure...

Like that recent chick who *alleges* he attacked her and said it's like he was 'possessed'... I believe her. The way Conor does that creepy miffed fake smile after saying 'it was rangy' and then is like looking Perry up and down rapidly whilst flinching his mouth until Perry breaks his psycho trajectory by being nice lol... If Perry had talked shit in that moment, I seriously believe McGregor would have attacked him...

I've done a lot of drugs and have my share of mental issues too... You can see it so bad in this guy + then the obvious accusations of random attacks etc. If he doesn't end up in a cage, and I mean jail someday... I'd be amazed.

Thats the thing. Most people always do coke when their drinking...and do alot of it.The coke makes you feel invincible and the alcohol ups the aggresion.

 

[RonnyB]

I feel bad for Eddie's neighbors having to hear that shrill siren shrieking his name all night after a big fight.

When you're rich you don't have neighbors within earshot

 

[HI SCOTT NEWMAN]

Perry is made for BKFC, perfect fit

 

[chardog]

Was anyone not highly entertained? Matchmaking was spectacular

 

[Paynebringer]

@giovanni_ss

I didn't even make it through the Fight Night card, let alone bkfc the stamina is leaking on me baby.

 

[Phisher]

 

[DaleBoca]

He didn't even look like he wanted to be in there once he got hit. Clearly didn't think any further aesthetic damage was worth it.

Can't blame him though. BKFC isn't the most prestigious or meaningful promotion to give it all for.

He thought it would be an easy night.

Worse than Kelvin parading around with Cejudo's belt? while having disgusting herpes o his face..

Worse than Kelvin's, at least Gastelum is a UFC fighter and fought for the belt, Conor attending is the closest thing he will get to fight in BKFC.
