Mike Perry will be all business later tonight (Sat., April 27, 2024) at BKFC KnuckleMania 4 live on YouTube pay-per-view (PPV) from inside Peacock Theater in Los Angeles, Calif., when the former Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) contender puts his “King of Violence” title on the line against Thiago Alves in the main event.

Perry has taken over the world of bareknuckle boxing since coming over from UFC back in 2022. Under the Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship (BKFC) banner, “Platinum” has amassed an undefeated record of 4-0 with key victories over Eddie Alvarez, Michael Page, and Luke Rockhold. Perry’s success inside of the ring and popularity among combat fans outside of it has made him the face of BKFC.

On Saturday, Perry will look to push his record to 5-0 with a win over Alves. “Pitbull” may be 40 years of age, but he’s 2-0 under the BKFC banner and still packs some serious knockout power. It will be up to Perry to tame the bull and once again overwhelm his opponent with aggression, toughness, and bareknuckle badassery.

As always, Perry is confident in his ability to inflict pain and believes he’ll be too much for Alves at BKFC KnuckleMania 4. “Platinum” delivered one final message to Alves on Friday and reassured fight fans of the carnage to come.

“It takes two to tango, bro,” said Perry during Friday’s official weigh ins (results HERE). “I’ve been excited to fight this guy for years. He ducked me last time. It’s time. He’s here. We’re going to show up in that ring tomorrow and I’m going to bust his sh-t up. It’s guaranteed. It’s fact.

“He can hit me, too, but I’m eating that sh-t for breakfast, lunch and dinner! I love to get punched in my face!”
