Mike Perry Reveals Timeline For Bare Knuckle FC Return: 'It's The Biggest Card Ever'

Originally posted on MMA News | By Curtis Calhoun | Last updated 9/6/23

Former UFC fighter and current Bare Knuckle FC star Mike Perry is inching closer to a return to the ring.

Perry signed a new deal to return to BKFC following his most recent win over former UFC champion Luke Rockhold. He is unbeaten in his BKFC tenure after an up-and-down run in the UFC.

Since the win over Rockhold, speculation has run rampant regarding Perry's next bare-knuckle opponent. He'll also serve as the backup fighter to the upcoming Logan Paul vs. Dillon Danis boxing match in the UK.

Perry has headlined a pair of the most lucrative events in BKFC history, and his upcoming fight could be his biggest yet.

Mike Perry Targeted For December Return To BKFC

During a recent appearance on The MMA Hour, Perry announced his planned fighting return for the end of 2023.

"I got a BKFC main event lined up for Dallas, Texas in December," Perry revealed. "It's going to be their biggest card ever."

Perry declined to name the opponent targeted for the December BKFC event but did eliminate Conor McGregor, Michael 'Venom' Page, and Donald Cerrone from the speculation.

Perry defeated Page by majority decision at BKFC London last year. He won his BKFC debut by defeating Julian Lane in Feb. 2022.

As of this writing, BKFC hasn't formally announced a December event in Dallas, nor details of a possible card. In the meantime, Perry is promising fireworks in his next BKFC appearance.
