UFC President Dana White shared his thoughts on Conor McGregor squaring off with Mike Perry at BKFC 41 event this past weekend.

The main event resulted in a second round TKO victory for ‘Platinum’, this after Rockhold decided to pull out of a number of his cracked teeth (see that here).

“It’s an amazing setting here. Incredible match making. Incredible story telling. Oh, you had to come here. I flew right away. I wouldn’t miss this. And it doesn’t disappoint. All of these fighters who step in here are warriors and all of them I respect. I’m in This game, yeah. We’re in this, yeah. We already got the belt. How am I going to just show up here and I’ve already got the belt? Come get it baby! Come get the baby belt!”
