Watch: Luke Rockhold puts Mike Perry in Choke during fired up face off!
Luke Rockhold is scheduled to participate in his first Bare Knuckle FC fight against Mike Perry in the headline event of BKFC 41 this weekend. The fight card also features several ex-UFC fighters, such as Chad Mendes and Eddie Alvarez, who will compete in the co-main event. Yesterday’s pre-fight press conference saw an animated face-off between Rockhold and Perry, who are both distinct personalities in the MMA world. During the face-off, the two individuals made motions as if they were going to punch each other, but never actually did. They also engaged in hand-to-hand combat. After the face-off was over, Perry turned around to leave the stage, leaving his back exposed. Rockhold then jokingly put Perry in a chokehold from behind, causing concern among officials from the Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship. Watch Video:
