Conor McGregor enjoys unparalleled star power in the combat sports world. His recent presence at BKFC 41 is a testament to the influence he holds over the scene. The Irishman was in attendance to watch several former colleagues from the UFC compete inside the BKFC circle. The 34-year-old had his own highlight moment as former UFC welterweight Mike Perry invited him into the ring for a face-off.

BKFC 41 saw Mike Perry face former UFC and Strikeforce champion Luke Rockhold in the main event. ‘Platinum’ forced Rockhold to quit after a competitive first round. Following the win, the 31-year-old had an interesting request involving the star attendee of the event, Conor McGregor.

The pair faced off and exchanged a few words of respect. McGregor congratulated Perry on the win and Perry acknowledged he had learned a few lessons from McGregor.
