Former UFC middleweight champion Luke Rockhold made an unsuccessful fistfighting debut at BKFC 41 in Broomfield, Colorado, USA, losing to former UFC welterweight Mike Perry ahead of schedule.
Referee Dan Miragliotta stopped the fight at 1:15 of the second round after Rockhold pointed out his bloody mouth and made it clear that he could not continue the fight.
Mike Perry challenged Conor McGregor from behind the ring after the fight, and the Irishman entered the battle of the looks with the BKFC championship belt on his shoulder, stating that “it will be in this game.”
In the second most important event of the event, mixed martial arts veterans Chad Mendes and Eddie Alvarez spent all five rounds in the ring, knocking each other down twice. As a result, the judges gave the victory to Alvarez by a split decision, and Mendez announced his retirement from martial arts after the fight.
The duel of former UFC heavyweights Ben Rothwell and Josh Copeland ended in an early victory for “Big Ben” after his opponent refused to advance to the fourth round.
Also, former UFC middleweight Chris Camozzi won an early victory, already in the first round finishing with a technical knockout of former UFC, Bellator and PFL fighter Dan Spon.
