Rockhold is toast. I think it'll be a KO to Perry in Rd 1 or 2.

I must admit I'm liking BK rather than UFC nowadays.

I think Perry was born to do the bare knuckle, Rockhold's hands and striking defence were always a weak point of his in MMA, great kicker and grappler of course. But yes I see it the same way you do.

Can't say I've fallen in love with bare knuckle yet, happy to watch a punch on though ha ha
 
Perry sure has looked like a natural so far. He pummelled Lane and then beat MVP pretty easily. I think Rockhold will use his size to try and grapple Perry to gas him out, but expect him to get touched and go to sleep early.

I'm a bit the same, but the monthly sub is like $8 and you usually get 2-3 cards per month. It has been nice seeing some also rans from MMA doing great things there though... guys like Johnny Bedford and Luis Palomino have been dominating there after so-so MMA careers. The Mike Richman/Lorenzo Hunt fight from the last Knucklemania card is worth a look too if you haven't seen it. A former Bellator bantamweight against a career 185-205 pounder in MMA in the main event was not something I'd ever think I would see, but it was fantastic.

I'm here as well. I'd prefer a real light boxing glove, but then it wouldn't be bk.
 
Perry won, Rockhold seemed to lose a tooth and said he couldn’t continue in the 2nd, saw the last 10 seconds basically. Then McGregor gets in the ring with the BKFC belt after Perry calls him out, bit odd really, I can see McGregor doing this at some point, MMA is nearly over for him if not already.

I can't. They surely don't have 5m to pay Connor to do this

Who knows, I mean he’s a huge PPV draw, I’m sure there’s a way to figure it out, he will bring a shitload of eyeballs.

Reckon he'd go to boxing before bare knuckle. Could make 5x more with less damage

Wasn't Rockhold wearing a mouth guard?

Looked like his bottom teeth were the problem, he only had his top teeth protected by the mouth guard.

It was a strange fight by Luke. He went through phases of looking clueless on what to do in there to actually looking decent with his hands. He cracked Perry pretty good early and had a few decent moments. On the whole though, I don't think bare knuckle is for him and doubt he'll be back.

Did anyone watch this Knucklemania on the weekend? Was a fun card to be honest, think it will be up on YouTube or elsewhere on the net

I didn't but Mike Perry is single handedly making it probably the number #3 combat sport to watch behind MMA and boxing for me
 
the_interloper said:
Yeah he did it pretty easy on the weekend, he’s a gift for that sport that’s for sure

Eddie Alvarez, Rockhold, MVP and Thiago. It's not a bad list either he is a savage in a group of savages

Main card was odd af. Russian guy tore his bicep from the bone, Duffee waved his fight off with a shoulder stinger, and then Hunt copped a sweet uppercut...fell down with his arm caught behind him and popped his elbow out.
Thiago took his pay and ran. Perry IS bkfc!

Yeah there was an odd amount of arm injuries that's for sure, I'm not sure if that usually happens much or not, I'm guessing not

100%. Although Rockhold and MVP probably shouldn't have dipped into that world due to them not being brawlers

He called out Darren Till, that would be a fun fight too

I reckon with Tuivasa being at the crossroads he'll get a call, probably already has, he'd fit in well I'd say, he vs Rothwell would be a fun one

He might be like Mike Perry in that his skill set is made for bare knuckle
