Former UFC welterweight contender, Mike Perry has claimed his path to sobriety was aided by the forming of his family with his mother, partner and child, claiming an epiphany regarding their safety led to his decision to stop drinking.
Perry, a former Octagon contender and current BKFC (Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship) megastar, has so far enjoyed an impressive run in the David Feldman-led promotion, scoring a perfect run of five straight victories.
And most recently taking on veteran Brazilian star and former UFC welterweight title challenger, Thiago Alves, Flint native, Perry stopped the American Top Team staple with a dominant opening round knockout win in the main event of BKFC Knucklemania IV back in April of last year.
