Perry's Transition from BKFC to MMA

Mike Perry has decided to leave Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship (BKFC) to pursue a full-time return to mixed martial arts (MMA). After parting ways with the UFC in 2021, Perry found success in BKFC, where he went undefeated with a record of 6-0 and earned the nickname "The King of Violence."

Recent Fights and Future Plans

Perry made his MMA comeback in May, securing a victory over Nate Diaz. He followed that up with a fight in August, where he lost to Brandon Jenkins. In a recent interview, Perry expressed excitement about upcoming opportunities in MMA, stating he is ready for new challenges. He confirmed that he will not be returning to BKFC, citing the differences in competition and the intensity of MMA.

Commitment to MMA

While Perry has not completely ruled out a future in bare knuckle boxing, he emphasized his intention to focus solely on MMA for at least the next two years. He acknowledged the challenges that come with MMA, including grappling and longer fight rounds, and is committed to building his career in this discipline.
