Mike Perry confirms he's leaving BKFC behind for MMA: 'I'm going to give it my best shot'

Mike Perry, a prominent figure in bare-knuckle boxing, has announced his departure from the BKFC to pursue a career in MMA. Since his return to MMA with two gloves bouts in May, Perry has expressed his satisfaction with the two-minute rounds and his desire to take on new challenges. With six successful appearances in BKFC, Perry secured the promotion's King of Violence title after defeating high-profile fighters Eddie Alvarez and Luke Rockhold.

His MMA debut at the MVP's debut event on Netflix in May resulted in a TKO victory over Nate Diaz, while his August bout against Brandon Jenkins was cut short due to a shoulder injury that led to a dislocated shoulder and a partial labral tear. Despite the setback, Perry remains optimistic about his future in MMA and intends to focus on his health and performance for at least the next two years.
