BKFC president: ‘Perfect fit’ Mike Perry could get instant title shot because of his talent

On Tuesday, Mike Perry announced his new prizefighting venture outside of the UFC. “Platinum” has signed a multi-fight deal with Bare Knuckle FC and already promises to “dismantle the opposition” and be “crowned king of the streets and king of combat sports.”

For their part, the organization is happy to have Perry on board. As BKFC president David Feldman told BJPenn.com, the 30-year-old welterweight is a “perfect fit” for bare-knuckle boxing.

“We have been talking for a while as we knew his contract had come up and we were an option for him,” Feldman explained.
