“Dana Would Absolutely Never”: After Demanding Dana White a Bare-Knuckle Fight With Sean Strickland, Mike Perry Reminded of UFC President’s Opposition by Fans

Mike Perry has achieved splendid success at BKFC. The former UFC fighter has now cemented his position in the BKFC as one of the top fighters. Perry had three spectacular victories in the promotion. All three fights were against MMA fighters, which include Julian Lane, Michael Page, and Luke Rockhold. ‘Platinum’ grabbed the attention of the crowd when he secured an impressive victory against the former UFC middleweight champion. In the bout between Rockhold and Perry, Perry amazed the fans with a second-round TKO stoppage. Soon after the bout, UFC superstar Conor McGregor got into the cage and called out Perry for a bare-knuckle fight.

Now the BKFC star is thirsty for more victories and has called out Sean Strickland after his brilliant performance at the UFC on ESPN 48. He won the bout against Abusupiyan Magomedov in the second round via TKO. Now, Perry has his eyes on Strickland. However, when fans came across Perry’s intention to fight Strickland next, they warned ‘Platinum’ that UFC President Dana White wouldn’t let it happen.
