On April 29, fight fans were treated to a double dose of adrenaline-pumping action with UFC Vegas 72 and BKFC 41 taking place on the same night. While both events delivered impressive performances, it seems like Dana White‘s promotion may have fallen behind the Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship this time. BKFC President David Feldman couldn’t be happier with the success of his event, which took place at the 1stBank Center in Broomfield, Colorado.

The highlight of BKFC 41 was undoubtedly the 185-pound bout between Mike Perry and Luke Rockhold. The fight ended surprisingly when Rockhold inexplicably quit in the middle of the second round, leaving Perry the victor. However, what happened after the fight was even more noteworthy, as the 31-year-old Perry shared a moment with UFC superstar Conor McGregor.
