Lex Ludlow cuts WWE-style heel promo on UFC veterans Mike Perry and Darren Till at BKFC Liberty Brawl

Lex Ludlow has left a number of fans and experts in the combat sports community awestruck with his electrifying promo after his victory at BKFC Liberty Brawl. 

Ludlow, importantly, suggested that he'd like to fight former UFC stars Mike Perry and Darren Till in bare-knuckle boxing matches under the BKFC banner.

The American fighter -- who's fondly referred to by his moniker "The Grizzly Bear" and has also proclaimed himself as "The Most Hated Man in Combat Sports" -- faced Drew Nolan in a cruiserweight bare-knuckle boxing match at the star-studded BKFC Liberty Brawl event. 

Ludlow dispatched Nolan via KO in merely nine seconds of the very first round, thereby making a statement at BKFC Liberty Brawl at the Xfinity Mobile Arena in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, on Saturday, July 3. 

The event notably marked BKFC's ode to the 250th anniversary of the United States Declaration of Independence, which marked America's breaking away from British colonial rule. 

Lex Ludlow has, in the past, publicly acknowledged that he was interested in becoming a professional wrestler. 

For those uninitiated in the world of scripted pro wrestling, it's a sports-entertainment presentation that entails wrestlers working with each other rather than against each other. They put on matches that have predetermined outcomes and are combined with the depiction of fictional storylines often inspired by real-life elements. 

The Levittown, Pennsylvania, native has accrued a professional MMA record of 2-4 thus far. Moreover, his bare-knuckle boxing record stands at 4-0, undefeated in the sport with all four of his wins coming in the BKFC.

Lex Ludlow channels his inner WWE Superstar, cuts a fiery promo against ex-UFC stars Mike Perry and Darren Till at BKFC Liberty Brawl

During his post-fight in-ring interview with UFC veteran Chris Lytle, Lex Ludlow appeared to get a tad emotional while speaking about his family. Ludlow is known for being a devoted father to his four children, three daughters and a son as well. Speaking to Lytle, Ludlow stated: 

"I don't care about your question. I got four little kids at home. I've accomplished so much in such a short amount of time. And I just want my kids to know that they are my greatest accomplishment that I'll ever do in my life. You know, Chris, I'm getting kind of emotional here, brother. I'm gonna do something a little corny." 

Seemingly switching to his professional wrestling-esque heel (i.e., villain) persona, Ludlow appeared to channel his inner WWE Superstar and said: 

"I want everybody in this arena to look to the left of you, look to the right of you. People at home, look at each other. And just please tell them something from me to them." He paused and then exclaimed, "That they absolutely s*ck." 

He continued, "I'm not done. Don't turn my f**king music off. Turn my f**king music off. I'm done when I say I'm done. They don't call me 'The Most Hated Man in Combat Sports' for nothing." 

Moreover, indicating that he has his sights set on two fighters as his next potential opponents, Ludlow said, "I'm the biggest name in the division. And my name is bigger than the f**king belt. I don't need the belt. There's two guys that I wanna fight." 

Referring to "Platinum" Mike Perry, who previously won and defended the BKFC's symbolic "King of Violence" title, as well as recent BKFC debutant Darren "The Gorilla" Till, Ludlow asserted, "The Queen of Violence, Mike 'Aluminum' Perry. That de*dbeat dad, that fake-wearing-teeth, Darren Till."

After implying that Till wasn't an ideal father, Ludlow continued his fiery promo, saying, "Listen, you don't have to like me. You don't have to love me. Because I am your hero. I am your villain. I am one in a million!"

Ludlow further addressed BKFC founder and president David Feldman, stating, "They call me 'The Most Hated Man in Combat Sports.' They call me 'The Grizzly Bear.' My name is Lex f**king Ludlow. And, Dave Feldman, you might want a paper and pen 'cause you're gonna want to write this down." 

Signaling that he's primed to be famous, Ludlow roared and spelled out the word famous, "FAMOUS!"
