Mike Perry poked fun at Conor McGregor during a recent interview with Ariel Helwani.

In the same breath, the 34-year-old voiced his support for the BKFC co-owner and UFC superstar.

“Conor’s punching the air right now that it’s me and Nate instead of his trilogy,” Perry said.

“‘Ah, that damn ‘Platinum’ Perry, King of Violence, working off my shine in bare knuckle.’ He ain’t never fought nobody in bare knuckle.

“The world is excited to see him back in the ring. I know you’re working on it. I know you’re trying. I know the UFC is giving you a hard time. We all look forward to seeing you back in the ring.

“I don’t know who he’s gonna fight. I don’t think the [Michael] Chandler fight makes a lot of sense anymore. He could fight me in bare-knuckle, maybe, if he wanted to.”
