Mike Perry says he’s done with BKFC and plans to focus on MMA for at least the next two years. After going undefeated in six bare-knuckle fights and winning BKFC’s “King of Violence” title, he’s returning to MMA despite a recent loss and shoulder injury.

By the Numbers
  • 6-0: Perry’s record in BKFC.
  • 2 years: At least how long he expects to stay focused on MMA.
Yes, But

Perry’s MMA return has been mixed: He stopped Nate Diaz in the second round, then lost by first-round stoppage to Brandon Jenkins after a partial labral tear caused his shoulder to pop out. He says surgery isn’t expected and that he’s back to training, though he’s gradually building up his workload.

What's Next

Perry hinted that he has fights to focus on but didn’t reveal his next move. He says he’ll give MMA his best shot and isn’t planning to return to BKFC during that stretch.

Bottom Line

Perry is trading the bare-knuckle circuit where he thrived for a fresh MMA run—with his health, recovery and ability to rebuild momentum now central to what comes next.
