Conor McGregor Confronts Mike Perry After Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship

by

Conor McGregor is prone to steal the show at any combat sports event he attends, even if he’s not the one fighting. Moreover, that’s exactly what happened Saturday night (April 29) at the Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship, where Mike Perry fought against Luke Rockhold. After the latter got his teeth busted up and removed himself from the fight, Perry emerged victorious, but found another opponent instead. Furthermore, McGregor joined him on stage and they had a fake face-off during which the MMA star grabbed Perry’s BKFC belt. All in all, it seemed to be just a stare-down for fun, although McGregor obviously had some words to share, as well.

Of course, Conor McGregor lightly challenged Perry to a fight of their own, remarking how all he did was walk in there and grab the belt. “Come get it, baby!” he exclaimed after their showdown. As one of the most prominent figures in the combat sports world (who is out on injury right now), his antics make for a crowd favorite. As the match went on, he drank from his whiskey and toasted the crowd to uproarious cheers and applause.

Conor McGregor & Mike Perry Face Off

Still, that broken leg from his 2021 fight with Dustin Poirier was a scary moment that left him thinking he’d never fight again. However, that lore added to his image and status as a fighting superstar, which rose exponentially in the past several years. The next move to take a peek behind Conor McGregor’s curtain is a Netflix documentary on the Irish fighter. Specifically, the documentary will reportedly highlight his return to the UFC octagon against Michael Chandler and also touch on his career as a whole.

With that, fans of Notorious should be incredibly excited for some more action and excitement from McGregor. In fact, hype around him is so big that he even recently appeared on Fox News as a guest. Time will tell how his comeback will pan out for his health and record. Regardless, it will be a massive event in the community that’s bound to bring a lot of corners of pop culture and sports together.

Greg Hardy Destroyed In First Bare Knuckle Fight: Watch

by

Greg Hardy is someone who has gone through various different careers. Overall, he started out his athletic career as a football player with the Dallas Cowboys. Although he was successful, a domestic violence case had some people demanding his banishment from the league. Eventually, Hardy fizzled out of the NFL and decided to pursue other opportunities. For instance, Hardy went on to become a fighter in the UFC. He started off in the lower ranks and tried to work his way up.

At first, Hardy was actually able to secure some wins here and there. However, there were a few occasions where he got disqualified due to cheap shots. Furthermore, every time he would fight someone of a higher stature, he would lose. His last fight in the UFC ended up being a loss, which led to his contract not being renewed. With his fighting future up in the air, Hardy decided to seek out the Bare Knuckle Fighting Championships. This is a boxing promotion in which combatants do not use gloves. It can be a brutal sport, although Hardy wanted to give it a shot.

Greg Hardy Knocked Out

According to TMZ, Hardy was fighting against Josh Watson this weekend. At the start of the fight, it seemed like Hardy may have a shot to win. Although things took a turn for the worse almost immediately as Hardy got forced into the ropes thanks to a huge punch. Consequently, Hardy didn’t have much in the tank once the fight reached the second round. Near the beginning of the round, Hardy got knocked out hard, and the referee ended the match. Needless to say, it was not a good start to this BKFC career.

Now, it remains to be seen whether or not Hardy will get another fight in this promotion. After his first appearance, it will be extremely difficult to place him. However, the XFL and the USFL are back, so perhaps he could always just go back to football. No matter what, you never want to get knocked out in your first appearance in a new fighting league. Stay tuned to HNHH for more news from the sports world.
