UFC CEO Dana White recently had a meeting with BKFC owner David Feldman. Neither White nor Feldman made the details of the meeting public. However, former UFC fighter and current BKFC fighter Mike Perry revealed what he came to know about the meeting.
Perry revealed it on the Overdogs podcast, which he co-hosts. The source remains unknown at the moment, but an offer was made to purchase the BKFC. This is what Perry said.
I didn't hear this from the most reliable source, but there was a drunk guy, and he said he was talking to somebody credible. He mentioned something about an offer being made to purchase BKFC. Interestingly, I think it was a lowball offer, $200 million for the BKFC, and Feldman said no.Mike Perry via Overdogs podcast
Dana White had earlier stated his disinterest in the UFC. However, the bare-knuckle promotion rose in popularity. In the past, the UFC had bought up rival fight promotions. Dana White and the Fertitta brothers acquired Pride, WEC, and Strikeforce before Endeavour bought the UFC. Now, PFL acquired Bellator in a landmark move. Nonetheless, UFC CEO Dana White criticized the move.
Perry is now the face of BKFC and recently won the symbolic King of Violence title. He defeated former UFC lightweight champion Eddie Alvarez for the title. Perry recently revealed that he even got an offer from the Middle East to compete in bare-knuckle boxing.
Mike Perry goes off on Dana White’s Power Slap
UFC CEO Dana White has business outside the UFC, and the Power Slap occupies his primary attention. He has even claimed that the Power Slap is the most viewed on social media. Many in the UFC, like Michael Bisping and Anthony Smith, are big fans of Power Slap. Moreover, celebrities and influencers are very interested in watching the event. However, Mike Perry is not a fan of it.
Perry went off at Power Slap on episode 21 of the Overdogs podcast. He found seeing White promoting the event on social media very annoying. Moreover, he also felt that the fight purse was very low for the event. Furthermore, the health risks associated with it also make it a less appealing destination for athletes.
The UFC recently did a Power Slap event, and it attracted a lot of celebrities. Influencers like Kai Cenat, IShowSpeed, Adin Ross, and the NELK Boys attended the event. Moreover, Dana White even met with Travis Scott at the event. White is a big fan of Nike’s Travis Scott Sneakers. However, it was the first time that he met Scott. White revealed that he had a positive interaction with the rapper.
