Conor McGregor has told Mike Perry he will send him packing from BKFC ‘if he underperforms’ in his next fight.

Ahead of his promotion’s huge card in New Jersey next month, the Irishman has sent Perry a brutal warning if there is a repeat performance of his last fight – a sixth-round stoppage defeat to Jake Paul in the squared circle.
