Perry, who is defending his "King of Violence" title, is looking to maintain his undefeated streak in bare-knuckle boxing, currently standing at 5-0. McGregor emphasized the importance of the fight, stating that if Perry wins, he must compete for the BKFC middleweight title against David Mundell, the reigning champion. McGregor remarked, “Your next fight, Mike — if you win... has got to be for a world title.” Perry countered by asserting his achievements, claiming he has already defeated Mundell twice in MMA, thus questioning the necessity of a title fight.
