Revenge! Mike Perry ‘snatched’ Nate Diaz fight from Conor McGregor — payback for stealing ‘Platinum’s’ shine in BKFC

“It feels great; I kind of snatched that one from under McGregor,” Perry told reporters during the MVP press conference scrum on Wednesday (via MMA Junkie). “I’ve been over there at bareknuckle getting all the fights while he’s been talking on the sidelines, not fighting anybody, trying to piggyback off my hard work. So the fact that I took out the trilogy. Nate didn’t want to fight a dangerous weakling like McGregor. He said he’s on one f*cking leg. He said he’s either out of the door or he’s going to revitalize his career by stepping back in there and beating on somebody. I’m not worried about that. I’m looking to beat Nate and then get all the opportunities that come with that.”

Including the one opportunity that may matter most.

“I think he maybe knows he’s in trouble,” Perry said about Diaz. “He’s getting older. He’s had a long road in this game, as have I. With my youngness – you know, I’m a lot of years younger than him – my strength and power, my aggressive style. To bring that to him, he knows I’m coming at him. To get the opportunity to face a Nathan Diaz before he decides to leave the game, I’m going to give the fans the fight they want.”
