Mike Perry Returns to BKFC: Philadelphia Set for an Explosive Event
Mike Perry

Mike Perry, a fierce competitor in the world of combat sports, is on the verge of making his highly anticipated return to bare-knuckle fighting. After his recent foray into boxing against Jake Paul, Perry is now being primed for a massive comeback in Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship (BKFC). The promotion’s first-ever event in Philadelphia, scheduled for mid-December, promises to be an unforgettable night for fight fans.


BKFC president David Feldman couldn’t contain his excitement about bringing the event to his home state of Pennsylvania.


“It was like a kid in a candy store,” Feldman said upon hearing that Pennsylvania had sanctioned bare-knuckle fighting. “We’re targeting a mid-December date for our first show. Huge show in a huge arena.”


Perry’s last appearance in BKFC back in April was nothing short of spectacular. He knocked out UFC veteran Thiago Alves in just 60 seconds, solidifying his perfect bare-knuckle record of 5-0. Despite his loss to Jake Paul in the boxing ring, Perry has become one of the biggest faces in BKFC and is ready to reclaim his spotlight. Feldman hinted at a high-profile opponent for Perry’s return, saying,


“If I tie that up, I think everybody’s going to be like, ‘Oh shit, really? How did you do that?’”


Philadelphia, known for its tough, working-class ethos, is the perfect backdrop for Perry’s return.


“Philly is a working-class city. Mike Perry is a working-class guy. He’ll fit in very well with the fans there,” Feldman noted.


There’s even talk of UFC legend Conor McGregor, a part-owner in BKFC, attending the event to boost its profile.


With the Philadelphia Eagles set to face off against the Pittsburgh Steelers the same weekend, the event will feature a mix of fighters from both cities. Feldman promises that the show will be unbelievable and could mark the biggest moment of his professional career.
