No joke Perry might be the best bareknuckle fighter in the world lol. You can't win with pure technique in BKFC. You got to be willing to get dirty and walk through fire.
Chris Leben was the other guy with similar attributes. Tough as hell dirty boxer but the MMA meta evolved beyond his skillset. He managed to get in a few BKFC fights before retiring but he's 43 now. Mike Perry is the younger that guy; hard head and hard puncher.
Chris Leben was CRAZY to watch during his BKFC tenure. Punched so freaking hard and made a mess of so many opponents that just weren't prepared to deal with such a psycho. Wild stuff.
Straight up built for BKFC lol. There are so many guys he has absolutely no right even competing against in either MMA or boxing that he’d most likely beat in bare knuckle. It sounds weird but I’m pretty sure he’d beat Izzy or Strickland in BKFC.
He’d run through Strickland, that’s a guy who just isn’t built for BKFC. Pillowfisted volume punchers with unexceptional chins don’t work in that ruleset.
Izzy would absolutely get out-dawged by Perry but the size difference + Izzy’s more powerful counters would stop me from betting on it. I still see him having some scary moments when Perry just keeps moving forward and cuts him off in that tiny ring.
Dunno, Bare Knuckle is a different beast. We've seen Eddie Alvarez go to war many times and Perry broke him in BKFC. Izzy is much bigger and a better striker though so it's hard to compare
Eddie is old and has been in a lot of wars. Izzy would do exactly what MVP did except he’s bigger and more powerful lmao.
Y’all are tripping to think Perry has a chance. Izzy would just feint, lean back out of reach of every telegraphed hook, and pop Perry with pull counters until he dropped.
This. Im not a huge fan of Izzy, but I'd wager he'd use footwork, range, and timing to counter the fuck out of Perry coming into the pocket. Eating a pin point counter from Izzy with no gloves on sounds rough lol.
He was like 40 and is washed. He was getting beat up in one. I give perry credit for the MVP win. Besides that he is doing the jake paul and is just beating up old washed up mma fighters in his own element and playground lol.
Actually you are right, there is something way different about it. Its not MMA so no kicks, no take-downs no subs and strategy might not work if one hit puts you out and hitting someone breaks your hand. Its like I want to learn more about it but then I realize maybe I should enjoy the show and not think about it..lol Its cool to watch once in a while but some of those fighters looked like they were drugged or really desperate. I don;t see myself really getting into it but to each their own
The broad improvement in multi-discipline technical skill has made the boneheaded brawler of early UFC extinct, I’m glad BKFC provides a sanctuary for them
He beat MVP, Eddie, and Luke as well. There’s just a real X factor in bareknuckle that Perry has that allows him to beat guys who are objectively way more skilled than him. We see this in the fact that Artem Lobov the most mid MMA fighter of all time beat Malignaggi in BKFC, which is mind boggling even when you consider that Paulie was past his prime.
Strickland would box the shit out of Perry, and actually likely finishes him, either in MMA or boxing but when there are no gloves in a way smaller ring things work out differently.
Mike explained in a video that you have to clench your hands really tight in bare knuckle, and it really affects the way you throw because you’re so tense. That’s why he’s able to beat guys who are better MMA strikers in BKB.
Strickland literally fights like an old school bareknuckle boxer and managed to become UFC champ with that style. But apparently much smaller Mike Perry beats him 'cuz he's KOing guys way past their prime 🤣
>You can't win with pure technique in BKFC.
Early MMA comparisons lmao. There's skill to **everything**. Remember your parents had to train you not to shit your pants.
He's impressive but the last few wins he has been beating up 40 year olds. Would love to see him against a striker in their physical prime but with BKFC rules, like a Geoff Neal or Joaquin Buckley
That was great too but it also ended up being a close decision. I would agree that Perry is already the bare knuckle GOAT, but mainly because there's almost no competition. If certain Top 15 welterweights got a good offer from BKFC, they could snatch that title from Perry quickly
I dunno man there's something special about bkfc that breaks people who aren't used to it. I've watched it for a few years now and I've never seen so many tough guys just quit at something
As of now, the BKFC GOAT should be Luis Palomino. First ever and still reigning lightweight champion with 6 defenses and the only champion to have more than 3 defenses.
BKFC seems to have a much better handle on how to market a promotion compared to Karate FC or PFL. They had a very full arena (they claim sold out) in a major city so crowd energy was great. Got discount Buffer on the mic. Signed the dawgfather Mike Perry and feed him recognizable opponents twice a year
Contract includes multiple fights and additional incentives. We don’t know details.
600k is the official data disclosed by the California Athletic Commission.
For example, Cruz in his last fight made 150 or 175k. It was a card in San Diego, so it also was disclosed.
Using Volk as the most recent example - he made $750k for 298 plus whatever the PPV points ended up at. Aljo made $500k plus PPV for his defense against O’Malley.
Being honest I'd guess most if not all current champs in the UFC are making more than 600k a fight. Maybe with the exception of Pennington.
For Mike personally though, he's making several times what he ever could in the UFC and it's awesome to see.
pantoja, pennington, ilia, ddp and grasso are not making over 600k a fight. ilia will definitely make over 600k the next time he fights and theres a chance ddp gets that as well. ppv points and bonuses and whatnot will bump their pay up but ilia and ddp only got a base of 350k for their last fights, with the rest of the listed fighters getting below 200k iirc
Look at everyone else and their disclosed pay.
https://www.mmafighting.com/2024/4/28/24143446/bkfc-knucklemania-4-salaries-mike-perry-leads-event-payroll-with-6-figure-purse
They paid someone $500.
The bulk of fighters didn't cross what the minimum is on the Apex card.
So glad for him. When he fucked up Hyun Gyu Lim in his UFC debut, I knew he was just a dog, and now he has found a niche that brings him big bucks to destroy people. That is a scary dude.
I was there live and it was a pretty disappointing event with all the injuries and Duffee quitting. The event place it was hosted at was horrible for a BKFC event. You can barely see anything from almost anywhere you sat. Crowds where lit though
Posting twitter links to fights should be banned. The tweet always spoils it and most of the time the videos don't even play. People too quick to whore Karma and post the link instead of downloading the video and putting on streamable or something similar
To be a UFC champion and defend multiple times you gotta be a scalpel where as Mike Perry is a hammer. I know some UFC fighters say they’re willing to die in the cage but Mike Perry is literally willing to do it with a smile on his face. I gotta be honest, I never thought much about him when he was in the UFC other than he was a middle of the pack brawler but he’s one scary mother fucker now that he’s found his home in BKFC. He’s on that gladiator shit.
Good to see Mike Perry making bank $600k payday tonight vs when he was selling corner spots in the UFC to having his girlfriend corner him to save on fees.
Crazy how Mike Perry was pretty shit struggling to beat Mickey Gall in the UFC and has now had the most insane career resurgence in Bare Knuckle. He's the Bare Knuckle GOAT at this point
He has beaten a bunch of very clearly washed competition in BKFC.
Alvez was very clearly past his prime 10 years ago. Perry is at his best in this ruleset, and is ridiculously tough even by MMA standards, but he is very obviously fighting old past it fighters.
If someone was beating these fighters in MMA we'd write it off for what it is, old guys trying to get a couple more pay cheques before fully retiring.
I'm saying Luke isnt a pushover. And perry also fought MVP and Alvarez. Everyone is a bit over the hill or unknown in this sport so I think that's as legit as it gets.
Probably a top 3 person on earth I would not want to fight.
I mean, I wouldn’t want to fight any pro fighters and many many people, but Mike Perry just has a confidence and swagger in BKFC that’s scary.
I thought Alvarez would be the one to do it but now I'm stumped and outside of a massive size advantage, I can't see anybody beating Perry in bareknuckle, lol.
It really warms my heart to see the love that Platinum Mike gets nowadays. I don’t think it’s a stretch to say that he is the GOAT of BKFC, the dude never has a boring fight.
Wow Mike the African goat Perry beat the fuck out of Thiago Alves who is a very good fighter with a lot of fight left in him. Thank you for making africa proud Mike Perry.
Guys like Mike Perry and Chris Leben are straight up built for BKFC. Hard hitting dudes who can endure getting a kitchen sink thrown at their face and eat it like it's nothing are the best guys for BKFC.
Bro he got hit very hard by the punch he didnt see, I dont see the point of assuming that figther was pretending just to get fight stopped, unless obvious, not fair to fighter at all considering what they are doing
I’m sooooo happy Mike has found a home where he’s successful. He was pretty fckin good for a while in the UFC but his weaknesses there has proven to be some
Of
His strengths here. And he’s bringing so many eyes to this organization. He’s always been a star
I agree with the comments that he's the best bare knuckle fighter right now but I'd like to see him vs guys who aren't past their prime. He's past his too and the only way u go to bkfc is to be over the MMA hill but still

He was a judge today which was a surprise
And a ref. The trifecta
100% Agree on all counts. I fucking loved Leben.
dude you could hit him in the head with a shovel and he'd keep coming at you
Chris Leben was CRAZY to watch during his BKFC tenure. Punched so freaking hard and made a mess of so many opponents that just weren't prepared to deal with such a psycho. Wild stuff.

Look Mike has got that dawg in him but we have all seen what Izzy does to dawgs
that was a nasty line by you
I was around for izzy's come up, but didn't watch a lot of mma from 2020-2023. Can someone explain the Izzy fucks dogs joke to me ?
Izzy jerked his dog off on video iirc.
No he didn’t lmao he flicked its penis, still weird but not jerking It off lmao
but why
Helping his dog bro get off.
Izzy finishes him but before the fight starts
Izzy sleeps Mike. People rushing at him with no technique and getting countered is Izzy's speciality.
No technique‽ There isn’t a man on earth that beats Rockhold and MVP without skill. Perry is the dawg
In relative terms. Pereira got slept by Izzy when he thought he had him hurt and was going for the kill. Both are far superior boxers than Perry.
Perry did not beat MVP goat conversation is over. Seriously no man could watch that’d faith and genuinely believe he won that
So sure Izzy getting dogged out? We seen him v Kelvin. He ready to die
You look Mike Perry in his thoughtless, manic eyes and tell me if you see him being out-dawged by anyone in bare knuckle lol
I’d bet money on Perry if I heard he was fighting a gorilla, but only if it was bare knuckle.
"Dear god, PLEASE get those gloves on that gorilla! Mike is on a rampage through the city and there's only one way to stop him!"
Dunno, Bare Knuckle is a different beast. We've seen Eddie Alvarez go to war many times and Perry broke him in BKFC. Izzy is much bigger and a better striker though so it's hard to compare
Eddie is old and has been in a lot of wars. Izzy would do exactly what MVP did except he’s bigger and more powerful lmao. Y’all are tripping to think Perry has a chance. Izzy would just feint, lean back out of reach of every telegraphed hook, and pop Perry with pull counters until he dropped.

He was like 40 and is washed. He was getting beat up in one. I give perry credit for the MVP win. Besides that he is doing the jake paul and is just beating up old washed up mma fighters in his own element and playground lol.
The Luke Rockhold win was big too
Old and washed up
Ain't a dog in the world Izzy won't beat off.
He lost to mvp tbh. He shouldn’t have won that.
Actually you are right, there is something way different about it. Its not MMA so no kicks, no take-downs no subs and strategy might not work if one hit puts you out and hitting someone breaks your hand. Its like I want to learn more about it but then I realize maybe I should enjoy the show and not think about it..lol Its cool to watch once in a while but some of those fighters looked like they were drugged or really desperate. I don;t see myself really getting into it but to each their own
The broad improvement in multi-discipline technical skill has made the boneheaded brawler of early UFC extinct, I’m glad BKFC provides a sanctuary for them
[удалено]
sean would break his hand after a few jabs and then he'd lose his only weapon lmao
Beat the shit out of him? Strickland jabs people to decisions.
Couldn't even KO an influencer
He beat MVP, Eddie, and Luke as well. There’s just a real X factor in bareknuckle that Perry has that allows him to beat guys who are objectively way more skilled than him. We see this in the fact that Artem Lobov the most mid MMA fighter of all time beat Malignaggi in BKFC, which is mind boggling even when you consider that Paulie was past his prime. Strickland would box the shit out of Perry, and actually likely finishes him, either in MMA or boxing but when there are no gloves in a way smaller ring things work out differently.
Mike explained in a video that you have to clench your hands really tight in bare knuckle, and it really affects the way you throw because you’re so tense. That’s why he’s able to beat guys who are better MMA strikers in BKB.
Strickland literally fights like an old school bareknuckle boxer and managed to become UFC champ with that style. But apparently much smaller Mike Perry beats him 'cuz he's KOing guys way past their prime 🤣
Mike should’ve lost to MVP and you think he can beat Izzy?
>You can't win with pure technique in BKFC. Early MMA comparisons lmao. There's skill to **everything**. Remember your parents had to train you not to shit your pants.
> Remember your parents had to train you not to shit your pants. Well they **DIDN'T DO A GOOD JOB**. Now excuse me, I have to go change.
and if his hands are breaking, it hasn't shown. he fights pretty regularly considering
Can't take brain damage If its all already mush to begin with
Is Mike Perry already the bare knuckle GOAT
I would say so he’s in his prime right now and has that extra edge that his opponents do not. I would not want to be standing across that man.
You could take him bro
Give me 3 shots of Hennessy and ill give it shot 😂
How many shots of proper 12 is that
I'll buy you 5
SING HIM UP
‘Haloooooo’
America ya!
I could last 5 seconds in the ring with him, my only conditions are I get a 1 mil paycheck win or lose and medical bills paid for.
For 5 million I’d find out
All we need is: RED DETECTED
He's impressive but the last few wins he has been beating up 40 year olds. Would love to see him against a striker in their physical prime but with BKFC rules, like a Geoff Neal or Joaquin Buckley
Let’s not forget he beat and knocked down Michael venom Page recently
That was great too but it also ended up being a close decision. I would agree that Perry is already the bare knuckle GOAT, but mainly because there's almost no competition. If certain Top 15 welterweights got a good offer from BKFC, they could snatch that title from Perry quickly
I dunno man there's something special about bkfc that breaks people who aren't used to it. I've watched it for a few years now and I've never seen so many tough guys just quit at something
Isn’t Michael page a top 15 welterweight and one of the best strikers in the division lol
Yeah but that was when Mike wasn’t as good, and MVP is a fucking menace. Just look at what MVP did to Kevin Holland, who has great standup
He won on the scorecards but got beat up for like 60+% of the fight didnt he
Not hating but MVP definitely won that fight
Yes. Artem walked so Perry could run
They need to bring in a washed up boxer as sacrificial lamb for Perry like they did Artem.
As of now, the BKFC GOAT should be Luis Palomino. First ever and still reigning lightweight champion with 6 defenses and the only champion to have more than 3 defenses.
Palomino had acouple of wars with gaethje before gaethje signed to the ufc aswell
Absolutely ridiculous fights, any MMA fans should be seeking them out.
That's where I grew to love Gaethje
Mike Perry’s resume is leagues above. Rockhold, MVP, Alvarez alone are significant
all former champs damn
Also two division champ
Every traveller in the uk and Ireland just shuddered.
Not for beating Thiago Alvez
John Sullivan
Perry made 600k for this fight, that is more than an average ufc fighter makes per their career. God bless Cali commission for disclosing purses.
Perry's current contract with BKFC is worth $8 million.
And they are absolutely building the company around him like they should
BKFC seems to have a much better handle on how to market a promotion compared to Karate FC or PFL. They had a very full arena (they claim sold out) in a major city so crowd energy was great. Got discount Buffer on the mic. Signed the dawgfather Mike Perry and feed him recognizable opponents twice a year
They didn’t even sell out their flagship show though
That's because BKFC shouldn't be going to a posh town like LA. They need to be going to fighting cities like Boston, Dublin, philly, etc
I’m agree. But la and la county definitely had some grime. Maybe they should have gone to riverside county
Wasn't it in a theater instead of an arena?
Yup, it's like a perfect marriage.
Contract includes multiple fights and additional incentives. We don’t know details. 600k is the official data disclosed by the California Athletic Commission. For example, Cruz in his last fight made 150 or 175k. It was a card in San Diego, so it also was disclosed.
Yes, I understand this.
Can’t believe the bk lounge has a fight club.
Fuck me I didn't realise they were getting paid shit loads more than the UFC guys. Good for them.
I think Perry's contract is the biggest one in the promotion.
And rightly so. Now I'm not so surprised that MVP gave it a go against him.
He should finance that platinum satellite to god
Good for him. He's the kinda dawg who probably cares about money second to knocking someone's head off.
It’s nuts. Mike Perry is making more than UFC champions right now.
Using Volk as the most recent example - he made $750k for 298 plus whatever the PPV points ended up at. Aljo made $500k plus PPV for his defense against O’Malley.
Being honest I'd guess most if not all current champs in the UFC are making more than 600k a fight. Maybe with the exception of Pennington. For Mike personally though, he's making several times what he ever could in the UFC and it's awesome to see.

Wait how are they able to afford this?
It also helps that Conor is now part owner.
They can't, they're losing money like crazy.
Same as every other promotion not named UFC. By giving fighters more than 15% of the revenue.
Look at everyone else and their disclosed pay. https://www.mmafighting.com/2024/4/28/24143446/bkfc-knucklemania-4-salaries-mike-perry-leads-event-payroll-with-6-figure-purse They paid someone $500. The bulk of fighters didn't cross what the minimum is on the Apex card.
So glad for him. When he fucked up Hyun Gyu Lim in his UFC debut, I knew he was just a dog, and now he has found a niche that brings him big bucks to destroy people. That is a scary dude.
What is average pay in bkfc?
On last night card only the top 6 guys made 1.2M with perry taking half. Rest of the 18 fighters made less than 20k.
Requirements to get to the BKFC is to be able walk and have at least 1 hand.
Absolute dog of dogs that Mike Perry fella is
Dudes got like 50 dogs inside of him and at least 3 wolves
How many layers of hair is that?
Enough to shed a bill cosby sweater every hour
Izzy be sweating bullets rn, Mike better not act up
I was there live and it was a pretty disappointing event with all the injuries and Duffee quitting. The event place it was hosted at was horrible for a BKFC event. You can barely see anything from almost anywhere you sat. Crowds where lit though
S/O to Angullo tho
Yea I was there too. The elevated stage wasn’t great but you could still see pretty good. At least from where I was sitting
I was considering going to the event and glad i didn’t after the disappointing last 3 fights. Yeah the view from the seats did look bad on the TV.
I thought it was so weird that they used a theater. Seats are hardly raised. The injuries kind of ruined the card.
Called out fat ass Darren Till and respectfully Nate Diaz who was in the crowd.
Diaz would need a blood transfusion after that fight
Was surprised to see how low the pay was considering Perry claimed they offered till 2.5 million to fight him
Perry's boxing technique looked so much better tonight.
Always bet on black

To be a UFC champion and defend multiple times you gotta be a scalpel where as Mike Perry is a hammer. I know some UFC fighters say they’re willing to die in the cage but Mike Perry is literally willing to do it with a smile on his face. I gotta be honest, I never thought much about him when he was in the UFC other than he was a middle of the pack brawler but he’s one scary mother fucker now that he’s found his home in BKFC. He’s on that gladiator shit.
Completely agree. Dude has definitely found his lane and is thriving.
98 Jordan 08 GSP 06 Silva all rolled into one
That’s game 6 Mike to you
"You thought you were gonna continue, boiii? ARGHHHHHH!!!!"
Good to see Mike Perry making bank $600k payday tonight vs when he was selling corner spots in the UFC to having his girlfriend corner him to save on fees.

Crazy how Mike Perry was pretty shit struggling to beat Mickey Gall in the UFC and has now had the most insane career resurgence in Bare Knuckle. He's the Bare Knuckle GOAT at this point
He beat Gall pretty handily. Out-grappled him, even.
he was losing on the feet lol
He has beaten a bunch of very clearly washed competition in BKFC. Alvez was very clearly past his prime 10 years ago. Perry is at his best in this ruleset, and is ridiculously tough even by MMA standards, but he is very obviously fighting old past it fighters. If someone was beating these fighters in MMA we'd write it off for what it is, old guys trying to get a couple more pay cheques before fully retiring.
True but rockhold just knocked someone out cold last week. He def got some legit wins
he knocked out Joe Schilling.....how is that legit at all? Joe is even more washed than the BKFC guys.
I'm saying Luke isnt a pushover. And perry also fought MVP and Alvarez. Everyone is a bit over the hill or unknown in this sport so I think that's as legit as it gets.
MVP looked amazing short after their fight
Alternate link or something? This doesn’t work
Perry deflecting Alves’ counter directly off the hook Alves got dropped with was pretty dope.
Perry's resume in BKFC is INSANE so far lmfao. He was straight up born for this shit.
Probably a top 3 person on earth I would not want to fight. I mean, I wouldn’t want to fight any pro fighters and many many people, but Mike Perry just has a confidence and swagger in BKFC that’s scary.
It rewards risk taking in a way MMA doesn’t
No threat of a take down and no beefy gloves = swing and bang is the best meta.
I'm prime McGregor level confidence.

It really warms my heart to see the love that Platinum Mike gets nowadays. I don’t think it’s a stretch to say that he is the GOAT of BKFC, the dude never has a boring fight.
Left hook
3 weeks in a row 👀
Wow Mike the African goat Perry beat the fuck out of Thiago Alves who is a very good fighter with a lot of fight left in him. Thank you for making africa proud Mike Perry.
So fun when you reveal the result in your shitty broken tweets
Thiago been out of his prime for like 8 years now
Since UFC 100
Gsp took his soul
That was so slick from Perry, left hook then used the elbow parry with that same arm in 0.1 of a second 🔥
I remember being on shrooms watching him fight Tim means and thinking he was a midget that couldn't strike. Now he's a goat of bkb.
WTF was up with Mario Lopez? He looked like he got fired at the beginning of the night but had to finish his shift anyways.
That blazer he was wearing was too big for him. It looked weird.

Perry was literally built for this. Can’t wait to see what’s next for him.
It's down anyone got a mirror?

Tougher than a set of woodpecker lips this bloke
Made me realize how tough Luke Rockhold is
Alves, Alvarez, Rockhold, Page are all very technical and legit standup guys. Would love to see him fight a pure boxer. I think he’d still win.
He beat a boxer in that Triad Combat thing with the triangular ring, for what it's worth
Can we please ban twitter for this type shit … post the video or just don’t at all
Guys like Mike Perry and Chris Leben are straight up built for BKFC. Hard hitting dudes who can endure getting a kitchen sink thrown at their face and eat it like it's nothing are the best guys for BKFC.
That was Thiago quitting, put on a bit of a performance getting to his feet. Don't blame him though, this shit is brutal and health should come first.
That was Thiago concussed.
It was a pretty clean shot and I don’t think Thiago thought it would get through his guard so maybe wasn’t braced for it
Bro he got hit very hard by the punch he didnt see, I dont see the point of assuming that figther was pretending just to get fight stopped, unless obvious, not fair to fighter at all considering what they are doing
Perry was totally built for this sport lol
From laughing stock to the God of Bareknuckle: The Mike Perry Redemption Story.
“Another one retired by the grace of these hands and our lord savior Jesus Christ booii let’s go!”
link doesnt work
Perry is out here giving BKFC legitimacy. Not just washed UFC fighters trying one last hurrah before retiring.
isn't that what it is though? and they all get fed to perry?
Mike Perry was built for bare knuckle
I’m sooooo happy Mike has found a home where he’s successful. He was pretty fckin good for a while in the UFC but his weaknesses there has proven to be some Of His strengths here. And he’s bringing so many eyes to this organization. He’s always been a star
It looks like Mike Perry has found what he was born to do.
That was my first BKFC event and it was badass!
Video didn’t work?
He can’t keep getting away with this!
I agree with the comments that he's the best bare knuckle fighter right now but I'd like to see him vs guys who aren't past their prime. He's past his too and the only way u go to bkfc is to be over the MMA hill but still
