BKFC is bringing a potentially violent pairing to its first-ever event in New Jersey.

Mike Perry will square off against Jeremy Stephens in a 175-pound headlining fight on Oct. 4 at the Prudential Center in Newark, N.J. BKFC president David Feldman announced the booking Wednesday during an appearance on "The Ariel Helwani Show." Perry and Stephens will be vying for the “King of Violence” title in their bout.

UFC Veterans Have Emerged as Stars in BKFC​


Perry has emerged as one of BKFC’s biggest stars in recent years, compiling a 5-0 record within the promotion. The 15-time UFC veteran has earned victories over the likes of Thiago Alves, Eddie Alvarez, Luke Rockhold, Michael Page and Julian Lane in bare knuckle competition. More recently, the 33-year-old suffered a sixth-round stoppage loss against Jake Paul in a boxing match in July 2024.

Stephens, meanwhile, is on a three-fight winning streak under the BKFC banner, including a stoppage win against Alvarez at Knuckle Mania 5 on Jan. 25. “Lil Heathen” returned for a one-off Octagon appearance in his home state this past May, when he dropped a decision to Mason Jones at UFC Des Moines.

Mike Perry vs Jeremy Stephens is actually just a pretty cool fight, don't think it needs the naff made up title.

Unless you're going to create a "King of Violence" belt for the belt system on here, then I'm in full support?! :eek:
Love it.
Well shit…If they are gonna call it king of violence”

…Can we get a crown instead of a belt ?
Love it, a crown of thorns! no! Razor wire!!!!!!

BKFC has evolved to a sport that understands its own cornball-ness. With this belt, they've cemented themselves as the "attitude era" promotion of combat sports.

I watch their events when they're on, will definitely be tuning into this one.
 
KOV shit is an incredibly lame copy of UFC BMF but they have to do something. Till would have been much better fight, Stephens is just too small coming up, plus losing in UFC doesnt help either.

But BKFC just doesnt have anyone, they have to find any former UFC guy they can get. Also really dumb going the same night as UFC 320.
 
Prediction: Stephens gets too meatheaded and assaults Perry at the weigh-ins, then gets arrested because that's a hate crime.
This is one of those VERY rare fights where Perry is smarter, or at least has better impulse control, than his opponent.

Regarding the fight, despite Stephens being a UFC FW/LW he always was super aggressive and hit super hard. One of the few smaller guys with a chance against a decent sized WW like Perry who is also stupidly violent.
 
Stephens is cashing checks these days.

It's going to be an easy win for the face of BKFC (which is Perry, not Conor).
