Mike Perry

'Platinum' Mike Perry built his reputation as one of the UFC's wildest brawlers, a welterweight with knockout power, brutal elbows and a total commitment to standing and trading. As thrilling as he was unpredictable, he was equal parts highlight-reel finisher and lightning rod for controversy.

After his UFC career wound down, Perry reinvented himself as the face of BKFC, where his brawling style and outsized personality made him bare-knuckle boxing's biggest draw and landed him marquee crossover bouts against names like Eddie Alvarez and Nate Diaz. Loud, polarizing and always ready to scrap, he's the rare fighter whose second act eclipsed his first.
