UFC:s superstjärna Conor McGregor är på plats i Newark. Detta för BKFC:s kommande gala. Conor som är delägare i organisationen hotar nu en utav stjärnorna.
Conor McGregor hotar stjärnan
UFC:s irländske superstjärna Conor McGregor har inte gått match sedan sommaren 2021. Under fjolåret så kunde Conor bli delägare i organisationen BKFC. En organisation som anordnar galor med matcher i Bare Knuckle Boxing. BKFC kommer på lördag att anordna ett event i Newark, New Jersey. I galans huvudmatch så möts före detta UFC-fighters som Mike Perry och Jeremy Stephens. Under gårdagens presskonferens så deltog dom båda i en presskonferens där även McGregor närvarade. Där kunde irländaren hota Perry med att denne måste lämna BKFC om han inte presterar tillräckligt väl. Detta då superstjärnan är kritisk till Perrys val att gå boxningsmatchen mot Jake Paul förra året.
“We’ve got our ‘King of Violence’ world title on the line by the current champ, Mike Perry, the King of Violence, making his return, A man that paved the way in this sport and rose up and done incredible things. Then he made an error and went a different way, biggest mistake in my opinion, but now he’s back. People are underwriting him. He’s got a big point to prove. And you know what’s at stake, Michael? If you don’t perform, you’re gone. You can go back to those exhibition bouts and those Misfits where they put on the big gloves, we’ll part ways, but I’m confident you’ll show up and do your thing, and I’m excited to see it.”
Perry blev under fjolåret knockad av Paul i boxningsringen.
Hyllar Jeremy Stephens
Conor fortsatte sedan med att hylla Perrys motståndare Jeremy Stephens. En fighter som irländaren benämner som den fjäderviktare med hårdast knockoutkraft i världen.
“And who are you against? You’re against a man, Jeremy Stephens, ‘Who The F*ck Is That Guy’, the one and only. The hardest-hitting 145-pounder. Listen to that. He’s a hard-hitting man, for sure, but he’s also a 145-pounder. Michael Perry is a 170-pounder, so that can never be overlooked. That’s a fierce man, a ferocious man, a man with his back against the wall. And for me in this bout, I’m undecided. I’m absolutely undecided. This could go either way, but one thing is for certain: this is gonna be one hell of a fight. And you know what’s at stake again? They’re both angling for a fight against the big boss, me. For me, who would I wish? Who would I prefer? Either or. I hope for a fight for our fans and I’m confident of that because no fight in bare-knuckle history has been a boring fight.”
