Mike Perry is the name that has taken brutal violence to a whole new level with his impressive bare-knuckle performances. After suffering a string of losses in his later years at UFC, Perry decided it was time to fight without gloves. Then, we saw a complete turnaround from the ex-UFC star, as he stepped into the BKFC ring.
Perry has fought in the BKFC 3 times, winning all three fights in spectacular fashion. His last fight was against UFC veteran Luke Rockhold, who had to retire in the second round due to the severity of his injuries. Now, ‘Platinum’ has signed a new deal with the Bare Knuckle Fighting Promotion, and fans are hyped up hearing this!

When Sean O’Malley thanked Perry for an unexpected reason
Interestingly, the UFC bantamweight star thanked the former UFC fighter for a reason none of the fans might have expected. Just days after Perry’s dominant victory over Luke Rockhold, Sean O’Malley appeared in a podcast with Michael Bisping. Interestingly, Perry was also a part of this podcast.
Unexpectedly, O’Malley disrupted the ongoing conversation to appreciate Perry’s bare-knuckle actions. Apparently, the UFC bantamweight was happy to see ‘Platinum’ give Rockhold a heavy beating. “Just want to say thank you for Luke Rockhold’s teeth out. I’ve always wanted to, but I can’t because he’d whoop my ass, so thank you for doing that. Thank you, brother,” he said.
