A Just Bleed brawl for the ages Perry vs Alvarez

[jeff7b9]

Eddie is lighter and nearly 40, he probably will get knocked out.
You can't take that damage from a heavier guy bareknuckle at that age.

I have noticed a bit of a trend of older fighters going to Bare Knuckle, presumably to cash out on their name value.

I have to agree that health wise taking those BK shots, knockdowns and KOs seems like a bad idea.

Just anecdotal observation here but it seems to me that the concussions are significantly worse in bare knuckle. I see a lot of MMA fighters, kickboxers and boxers on their feet with decent balance even following a legitimate stoppage. BKFC seems to result in a lot of baby deer legs.

Its a combination of factors.
1) BKFC is willing to pay them more than theyll get anywhere else
2) no real testing,makes it easier for these older beat up guys to heal up/train/perform
3) some guys like Eddie,and Perry actually excel at this type of fighting.

In MMA I would favor Eddie. Perry seems to be absolutely thriving in BKFC tho so things are very different. Ask Rockhold LOL. This fight favors Platinum IMO.

thriving in what way? Who has he beaten that you wouldn't have already assumed he had better hands than?

He is doing very well. He's a hot commodity in the outside the UFC world,and he absolutley is in his element in this type of fighting. Give the black man his props.

 

[HHJ]

the interview that just took place on the mma hour between the two of them was awesome. worth the watch. perry all day.

Agreed.

He and Ariel are great together

Mike is the bareknuckle goat!!

the underground king stands no chance against platinum

 

[HHJ]

kinda worrying that he gets into a war with Mini Mendes though, what will happen against twice the size and puncher in Mike Perry?

Mini Mendes?

Mendes was yolked the fuck out in that fight. A hulking collossus

 

[jeff7b9]

Eddie interview starts around 1 hour 22, Mike Perry calls in shortly after.

How does timestamp work if I do it manually? (I'm on android)

At the end its t=1h22m

Is that it?

And why isn't YT automatically embedding like it used to? Fucking technology...

He's 3-0 and #1 ranked BKFC MW. Rockhold and MVP are great wins. So, yeah, thriving in that way. Seriously, WTF are you even on about mate?

Mike looked good against Luke and Page. But neither of these guys are boxers. Eddie has good hands. That being said, he’s not a young man. Who knows?

 

[Kohelet]

BKFC is such great sport
gives the realistic feeling, they are also pounching different(knuckles instead of flat bones) and it's a bit harder to defend without gloves
it's a sport full of adrenaline, everyone should give it a try

 

[FEDORFAN44]

Perry is going to ko him in 3.eddies fight with Mendes showed hes not ready for platinum.

 

[Poirierfan]

Eddie isn't that guy anymore. He's turned into a wrestler. Mike is gonna eat him up.

Mike would eat him up, but Eddie looked really good against Mendes.

 

[Mohawk Banditó]

Awesome fight.


I see Bec has her rematch. I hope she goes back to impressing. She had become a real violence queen, and that stoppage was shit

MVP feared striker no?

 

[Cowboy Kurt Angle]

Mike Perry is the BKFC goat
