Leonardo Perdomo continued his meteoric rise in the bare-knuckle fighting scene with a commanding performance at BKFC 66, where he secured a decisive victory against Steve Banks. This win further solidifies Perdomo's reputation as one of the most dangerous contenders in the heavyweight division.
In his latest bout, Perdomo showcased his explosive power and technical prowess, delivering a knockout that left fans and analysts in awe. His performance against Banks was a testament to his skill and preparation, continuing his trend of first-round knockouts. Perdomo’s ability to end fights quickly is becoming a hallmark of his career, and his latest win is a clear indication of his growing dominance in the sport.
Following his victory, Perdomo expressed frustration with the inactivity of other top heavyweights, such as Ben Rothwell and Mick Terrill. In a recent press conference, Perdomo questioned,
“Where is Ben Rothwell? Where is Mick Terrill? What’s wrong?” He voiced his eagerness to stay active, stating, “I’ve spoken with BKFC, I’ve spoken with everyone, David Feldman, Surge, I want to fight every month.”
This determination to remain active reflects his commitment to rapidly advancing in the ranks. Perdomo’s recent remarks have stirred interest in potential future matchups. When asked about a possible fight with two-time heavyweight champion Arnold Adams, Perdomo maintained his focus on current goals, saying,
“Really? You sure? For now, only Ben Rothwell. I respect all the fighters but my power is different. I’m in the gym getting better.” His confidence in his own abilities is evident, as he continues to train hard and prepare for upcoming challenges.
The backing of Conor McGregor has further elevated Perdomo’s profile. McGregor, one of the biggest names in combat sports, has praised Perdomo, calling him “the Cuban Mike Tyson” and highlighting his “explosive power.” This endorsement from McGregor not only boosts Perdomo’s visibility but also underscores his potential to make a significant impact in the heavyweight division.
Adding another layer of intrigue to Perdomo’s career is the renewed interest from former opponent Joseph White. White has expressed a strong desire for a rematch, stating,
“I want him again. I’m going for Leonardo Perdomo. To be honest, me and him are cool, but I’m not scared of him. I was the first one to cut him, I was the first one to put these paws on him. When I get him again, I’ma do something to him I promise you.”
This potential rematch could be a thrilling addition to Perdomo’s journey as he continues to rise through the ranks.
As Leonardo Perdomo continues to make waves in the bare-knuckle fighting scene, fans are eagerly anticipating what’s next for this rising star. With a series of impressive victories, a determination to fight regularly, and endorsements from major figures like Conor McGregor, Perdomo is on a trajectory that could soon see him among the top contenders in the heavyweight division.
