While initially, he maintained the momentum by scoring two successive wins and was 4-1 in his first 5 fights with the promotion. However, after that, the MMA Masters team representative could only amass 3 wins in his last 10 fights with the promotion.
Perry‘s last win inside the Octagon came against Mickey Gall at UFC Vegas 4 in June 2020. After his contract with the UFC expired, he joined the Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship in 2021.
However, it seems that the switch worked wonders for him as the fighter is 2-0 in BKFC.
