BKFC sensation Mike Perry sends unique challenge to Conor McGregor amid Irishman's comeback rumors - "Can we make it happen, Elon Musk?"
With a net worth of over $200 million, Conor McGregor is the richest MMA fighter on the planet by far.
McGregor has a Tecnomar for Lamborghini 63 worth $3.5 million, which was purchased in 2021. It is a yacht produced through a collaboration between Lamborgini and one of the leading brands in the Italian sea group that manufactures premium yachts.
According to Forbes, the yacht resembles a sports car on water and is 63 feet long. It is driven by dual MAN V12 engines with 200 horsepower and is capable of attaining a total speed of 60 knots.
With his comeback on the horizon, the Irishman received an unexpected offer from former UFC welterweight fighter Mike Perry, who challenged him to a yacht race in a post on X, wrote:
''A Tesla yacht would be sick to race against TheNotoriousMMA Lamborghini yacht, can we make it happen elonmusk''
McGregor shocked the MMA world last year with his appearance at BKFC 41. ‘The Notorious’ faced off with Perry after his victory over Luke Rockhold.
McGregor is still under contract with the UFC and is expected to face Michael Chandler later this year.
