The recently concluded BKFC41 event certainly did not lack any star power, as many former UFC fighters participated in this event. In the event, UFC star Conor McGregor also showed up. Certainly, he never shied away from the spotlight, as he had a highlight moment against the main eventer Mike Perry.
The main event saw former UFC welterweight Mike Perry square off against another former UFC star Luke Rockhold. Rockhold quit the fight after Perry’s domination in the first round.
Conor McGregor attended the event and was sitting courtside to support his former UFC fighters. It is worth noting that McGregor is scheduled to face Michale Chandler later in 2023.

After beating Rockhold, Perry asked for a faceoff against ‘The Notorious’ one. He entered the ring with the BKFC belt. The pair exchanged a few words while showing respect to one another.
He said, “It’s an incredible set-up here. Incredible matchmaking, incredible storytelling… I had to come here. I flew in straight away. I was not gonna miss this and this did not disappoint. All these fighters that step in here are warriors and all have my respect.” Then he joked, “How am I just showing up here and I’ve already got the belt? Come get it baby! Come get the shot baby!”
