Mike Perry delivered on his promise of a quick and easy night in the main event of BKFC’s annual blockbuster show.
Perry faced fellow former UFC veteran Thiago Alves in the KnuckleMania 4 headliner Saturday at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles. “Platinum” needed just 60 seconds to put Alves away, as he dropped him with a big left hand. Alves was able to make it to his feet before the 10-count, however he couldn’t keep his footing as he was badly hurt, leading to the referee waving things off.
Following the win, Perry delivered a heated post-fight promo, calling out Darren Till, and even sending a respectful message to Nate Diaz, who was sitting in the crowd taking in the action.
Fellow pro fighters, including new BKFC co-owner Conor McGregor, took in Perry’s handiwork, and gave their reactions to another stoppage win for the face of the promotion.
This mtfk @PlatinumPerry is absolutely savage at @bkfc_uk congrats bro

“Platinum” Mike Perry proved his metal with a precious left hook and sends Thiago Alves to the kennel. He calls out anyone, everyone, and no one all at the same time but he proves he really is the King of Violence #BKFCKM4 pic.twitter.com/FMEGh9ZZai
