Cute

 

[BangBang]

He’s done well for himself tbf.

 

[HatKick]

He's the bareknuckle GOAT

 

[nonoob]

Platinum just raised the level of BKFC to an 11 by re-signing.

 

[H41ph_84k3d]

Can't tell if that's a dawg or Mike.

 

[Dorkman]

If the money is good, it's definitely where he belongs. He's found his niche there. He just is unlikely to ever be as refined a mixed martial artist he would need to be to push himself into the main event for his personality to shine through. Bare knuckle is the perfect type of fighting for how he likes to throw down.

Fun Mike Perry fact:

Mike Perry knocked out Alex Reyes in Reyes' UFC debut in 2017.

Reyes hasn't fought since, and his 2nd UFC fight is in 1 month.

 

[Tweak896]

Beating MVP standing is probably the best spot on his resume. Probably should've been BKFC from the beginning.

 

[CC27]

Really was no other option for him, i mean he could have went back to UFC or PFL or whatever but he's built for bare knuckle and is the face of the org. Why would he go back to be a mid level mma fighter when he can be a champ/star and get paid in BKFC.

That knee made him question his career for 6 years. Devastating.

Great news.

Platinum hit gold with BKB. He would be wasting his God given talents anywhere else.

He also beat a legit boxer (Michael Seals) in a hybrid event. I'm not sure what the rules were, but looked like almost pure boxing in the parts I saw.

I wonder how much he's getting paid doing that, im curious if its more than his paydays in the UFC. He is made for bare knuckle boxing..

From what I understand, they pay relatively well. Reported he made $250k for BKFC 41, not sure if that is straight purse or what. If it is, factor in sponsors and whatnot, he's probably doing well. Even if that number includes sponsors, still doing better than what he got in UFC.

 

[TheMadHatter]

Can’t wait for his next fight. He’s must watch for me.

 

[goOb]

Mike Perry found his thing and is doing very well at it. Hats off to him!

I always thought Perry was a shitty fighter and thought nothing of him, he's proven me wrong numerous times.
