Getting Conor in my That ring after his fight earns him a new contract alone. He’s great for BKFC. He knows how to cease an opportunity off the cuff.

[@littlemichaeljr6518]

Damn, Mike can fight and box. So inspirational especially to beat someone 4 inches taller than u and bigger than you in a type of fighting style sport like this

[@SeanLives]

Rock hold is not a boxer type fighter so I’m not surprised in the slightest

[@randomdude7345]

If the big man cant box his size is useless against smaller opponent who can. I dont understand why Luke didnt use at least a jab with that reach. I just dont understand.

[@EugeakaEugene]

He won against Seals, a pro boxer with big record of victories. Won against Lane who already had many fights in bkfc. No need for excuses Rockhold this and that. What happens when he fights Till? Till is not a boxer, he's a thai boxer?

[@martinfretwell]

Luke was just getting a retirement cheque.

[@sugewhitejacoby8654]

​@@randomdude7345 probably because Mike was inside so fast. Luke just couldn't move away fast enough!

[@taylormade6300]

Man I bought this PPV just for mike,Luke,Chad and Eddie all great dudes

[@GQuick-nr7et]

Look this dude is a DAWG of life. Remember a couple years ago he was having depression issues along with personal life and society problems. He accepted the help!!! LOOK AT HIM NOW! I am a huge fan! Go PLATINUM!!!

[@jimtheyid]

Was always on the fence with Perry in ufc,but he's made BKFC his home,massive respect

[@SG-er8cx]

Perry hinself has made BKFC substantially more popular when he signed with them...and him bringing Connor in the ring was freaking brilliant....

[@ofinnie]

I LOVE Mike's spirit, I wish much SUCCESS to him going forward!!

[@HarmonWarhol]

Platinum needs to be one the JRE to grow the sport. This man can grow a entire sport if he keeps beating big kick boxers.

[@Youtoober6947]

Unfortunately this sport will only go so far, it’ll be where retired or failed mma/boxing fighters will go The best don’t want to risk the amount of outward damage bare knuckle causes

[@decaDBZ]

Much more superficial damage yes but much less brain damage compared to boxing.
