UFC President Dana White finally addressed the recent face-off between Conor McGregor and Mike Perry inside the BKFC ring. As per the terms and conditions, Conor McGregor is not allowed to compete against any other combat sports promotion fighter athlete.

Dana White is someone who has fighter-like stature in the MMA community. One of the biggest characteristics of the man is that he never shies from presenting his point of view. On April 29, the MMA world witnessed the unexpected ending of a fight where Mike Perry and Luke Rockhold collided with each other in the BKFC Ring. Conor McGregor was also in attendance to watch the BKFC 41 event.

UFC president after listening to the question, humorously gave his response, while indicating that Conor had Proper 12 whiskey in his hand. As it was not unnoticed by White, he insinuated that McGregor was under the influence of alcohol.

White said, “Yeah, I think that Conor went out and was having fun. And he got caught up in the moment. And, you know, the dude [Perry] called him into the ring. And, you know, he did it. I also saw him pounding a bottle of Proper 12. I’m sure that probably had something to do with it too. But, you know, listen, man. At the end of the day, Conor has done a lot here. He’s made a lot of money. The guy’s out having fun. And, you know, it’s all good.”

Robbie also raised the question, highlighting the face-off with Mike Perry, if he was upset with it, White replied, “Not at all. Not even a little bit.” Also, this was the first time BKFC got more attention than a UFC event. “UFC Fight Night: Song vs. Simon” and BKFC 41 took place on the same date with similar timing.
