Mike Perry Announces Return to Mixed Martial Arts Following BKFC Departure

Mike Perry, the former UFC welterweight who found significant success in Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship (BKFC), has announced his transition back to mixed martial arts. Perry confirmed that he is moving on from BKFC to focus exclusively on MMA for the foreseeable future.

The news follows recent comments from BKFC President David Feldman, who had indicated that Perry was preparing to pursue other opportunities outside of the bare-knuckle promotion. Despite parting ways, Perry reflected positively on his tenure with the organization, stating that his time in bare-knuckle boxing was an enjoyable experience.

Perry’s return to MMA marks a significant shift for the athlete, who became a marquee name in the bare-knuckle circuit. While specific details regarding his next promotion or debut opponent have not yet been announced, the move effectively concludes his participation in BKFC. Perry emphasized his commitment to the sport of mixed martial arts for the next few years, signaling a full-time return to the cage after his recent detour into combat sports pugilism.
