Mike Perry's Bare Knuckle FC tenure will continue after the former UFC standout signed a new deal with the promotion.

BKFC has agreed to sign Perry to a new multi-fight deal this week. He could make his BKFC return by the end of 2023.

BKFC told MMA Fighting of the new deal on Wednesday.

The new deal provides contractual security for Perry, who was uncertain of his future after defeating Luke Rockhold at BKFC 41. Perry is 3-0 in BKFC with wins over Michael 'Venom' Page and Julian Lane.

Perry has surged into BKFC's biggest star after an up-and-down tenure in the UFC. He signed with BKFC after parting ways with the UFC following a loss to Daniel Rodriguez.

Perry has surged into BKFC's biggest star after an up-and-down tenure in the UFC. He signed with BKFC after parting ways with the UFC following a loss to Daniel Rodriguez.

Perry could potentially challenge for a BKFC world title or opt for big-money fights against those of Rockhold and Page's caliber. He and Conor McGregor had an intense face-to-face after Perry's last knockout win over Rockhold.

At 31 years old, Perry is still in the physical prime of his career and will look forward to adding more BKFC accolades to his résumé.
