Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship’s “King of Violence” titleholder Mike Perry returns to mixed martial arts on May 16 on the Ronda Rousey vs. Gina Carano fight card. “Platinum” takes on inaugural UFC ”BMF” challenger Nate Diaz at the Intuit Dome in Inglewood, California.
It’s been five years since Perry fought a mixed martial arts fight. It’s been more than three years for Diaz. Despite the time away, Perry predicts he’ll knock Diaz out.

“Yeah, I think so,” Perry told TMZ Sports when asked if he thought he’d knock Diaz out. “I think after everything, years in our careers. Don’t get me wrong. Nate is very durable, very tough. I think I can have the skills and abilities, the way training is going, I think I’ll be very sharp, very dangerous, very on point, and targeted.”
Perry’s looking to steal the show on the Most Valuable Promotions and Netflix promoted event, and he plans to give the fans exactly what they expect.
“I’m looking to go in and give the people the bloody people’s fight, people’s main event show that they’re looking for, the real BMF-style altercation. Meet Nate in the middle and, you know, spread some blood,” he said.
“I’m grateful for the fight, the opportunity, and I’m looking to capitalize on it, give the fans a very violent and intense, bloody show. That’s what we’re going to get into. Me and Nate are going to throw hands in the middle,” added the 34 year-old.

“I’m going to watch submissions. I’m going to try to throw some elbows. I get to come back into elbow territory and land maybe some knees, some kicks, throw some big punches, and do what I need to do to dominate on an MMA event that’s going to get the most eyes that an MMA event has ever had. It’s going to get the most eyes on Netflix, so it’s a great opportunity for me and my career.”
