According to BKFC star ‘Platinum’ Mike Perry, Dillon Danis is out and he is in.

On October 14, Danis was set to step inside the squared circle for a clash with social media sensation Logan Paul as part of Misfits Boxing’s ‘The PRIME’ Card’ in Manchester. However, that no longer appears to be the case if both Danis and Perry are to be believed.

On Thursday, Danis reposted a clip of Logan Paul discussing the legal battle between Danis and his fiancee, swimsuit model Nina Agdal. The comments seemed to spark some frustration in Danis who suggested that he is bowing out of the bout less than two weeks from fight night.

“Logan bragging about lawsuits again he isn’t built for the fight game, this pussy doesn’t deserve me I’m out,” Danis wrote on X.

Adding fuel to the fire was Mike Perry, the official backup for the contest, who posted a video saying, “It’s official guys. I’m in.”

It should be noted that neither Dillon Danis nor Mike Perry have officially confirmed the change, leading some to suspect that this is nothing more than another tactic to get people talking about the bout.

Logan Paul Responds to Dillon Danis and Mike Perry

Logan Paul offered up his response to the situation on social media saying:

“Don’t let Dillon fool you… he knows that pulling out AGAIN would guarantee no fighter, fight organization, or legit brand will ever work with him because he’s an unreliable liar,” Paul posted on X. “Not to mention the embarrassment of pussying out against me. I’m going to break this predator physically, mentally, spiritually, and financially. This isn’t about just winning the fight; I’m going to destroy his entire life. But truthfully, idgaf who shows up on October 14 — the man across from me will be knocked out cold.”

It didn’t take long for Dillon Danis to snap back at Paul online.

“Logan is so delusional he thinks this makes him look good. It’s actually crazy,” Danis replied. “Suing someone isn’t a real fighter move. It’s a cowardly move. Step down from your moral high ground. People still remember you using a suicide victim for financial gain and clout. Also, be a man and turn on your replies pussy.”

The moral of the story? Nobody seems to know what the hell is going on, but it’s safe to say that Dillon Danis, Mike Perry, and Logan Paul have fight fans and the MMA media eating out of the palm of their hands right now.

Mike Perry calls for fight with Eddie Alvarez BKFC gladly retire him UFC

Former UFC welterweight contender turned bare-knuckle fighter, Mike Perry, has claimed he would “gladly” retire former promotional lightweight champion, Eddie Alvarez under the BKFC (Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship) banner, in his return to the promotion.

Perry, a former welterweight contender under the banner of the UFC, has so far enjoyed an impressive three-fight undefeated run since landing in the David Feldman-led BKFC promotion, most recently headlining an April card in Colorado. 

And moving to 3-0 in bare knuckle fighting, Michigan striker, Perry defeated former undisputed UFC middleweight champion, Luke Rockhold – forcing him into a second round retirement after fracturing the Californian’s tooth, landing a subsequent TKO victory.

Also appearing on that card, former UFC lightweight champion, Alvarez landed a split decision win over former UFC featherweight championship challenger, Chad Mendes in a co-main event slot – in his first venture back to combat sports since departing the Chatri Sityodtong-led ONE Championship

Recently penning terms on a new deal with BKFC, promotional poster boy, Perry recently hinted at a potential fight with Philadelphia veteran, Alvarez down the line – claiming he would happily retire the veteran brawler.

“I don’t know if I was at peak performance, but if I meet him (Eddie Alvarez) at a fair weight, I heard he’s interested,” Mike Perry told MMA Fighting during a recent interview. “He must have some chip on his shoulder. I’ll gladly send him into retirement.” 

Prior to his TKO win over Santa Cruz native, Rockhold, Perry defeated former Bellator MMA welterweight title challenger, Michael Page in his sophomore BKFC clash, after a decision win over The Ultimate Fighter veteran, Julian Lane in a debut in February of last year.

Logan Paul urged to avoid fight with former UFC favorite Mike Perry: ‘He comes and throws bombs’

UFC welterweight Matt brown speaks on Mike Perry serving as the backup fighter for Logan Paul Vs. Dillon Danis

Influencer boxing continues to roll on, in the latest sideshow Logan Paul and KSI will be fighting on the same card together on October 14. KSI will take on Tommy Fury, while Paul will take on Danis – the pair have called it the ‘Prime Card’ after their ‘hydration’ drink.

While both Paul and KSI have recently come under fire for their own controversies, which include use of racial slurs and a multi-million dollar scam, the drink itself has recently received heavy scrutiny. While both have marketed the drink as a hydration beverage, experts have claimed that the ingredients in the drink are not that of a useful hydration  

Logan Paul to take on Mike Perry

As Danis will be Paul’s opponent, there are concerns that he would pull-out of their scheduled bout. In fact, Danis has a clause in his contract that means he will have to pay $100,000 if he pulls out. 

They also gave a backup opponent for Paul, which is arguably a much harder task. Perry will replace Danis should he drop out and even appeared in a face-off with the influencer. 

Since leaving the UFC Perry has gone on a tear in the bareknuckle boxing world and is the sports biggest star. The American has maintained an all-action and come-forward style, putting on exciting fights. According to MMA legend, Matt Brown, Paul should be hoping that Danis does not pull out. 

“He does not want to f*** with Mike Perry,” Brown said on The Frighter Vs. The Writer. “Mike Perry’s not a great boxer either, but he doesn’t give a f***. (H/T MMA Fighting)

“He comes forward and throws bombs. I just watched him versus [Michael Page] in bare knuckle the other day, and it was like he has no technique at all. He just walks forward and throws, and he doesn’t look good doing it at all, but it f****** gets the job done. He’s praying that Dillon Danis shows up.”

Who would win, Mike Perry or Logan Paul?

Jon Jones snubs Adesanya and Du Plessis, dubs Mike Perry the best African fighter: ‘The real n**** himself

Jon JonesJon Jones knows who the best African fighter in the world is, and it’s not Israel Adesanya. It’s not even South African contender Dricus Du Plessis. No, the reigning UFC heavyweight champion has snubbed both of his Octagon compatriots in favor of BKFC star ‘Platinum’ Mike Perry. A few years back, before he was lighting […]

Jon Jones knows who the best African fighter in the world is, and it’s not Israel Adesanya.

It’s not even South African contender Dricus Du Plessis. No, the reigning UFC heavyweight champion has snubbed both of his Octagon compatriots in favor of BKFC star ‘Platinum’ Mike Perry.

A few years back, before he was lighting up the likes of Luke Rockhold and Michael ‘Venom’ Page in the squared circle, Perry was a middling welterweight known more for his antics outside of the cage than the performances he delivered inside of it. That includes suggesting that a supposed DNA test revealed he is 2% African, thus, by his logic, he is “legally allowed” to say the N-word.

“Okay, I want to explain that I took a DNA test and the results came back French and German, British, and Irish, and I was 2% African. So I am legally allowed to say the word n****,” Perry said in a post on Instagram.

Jon Jones Has Some Fun at the Expense of Adesanya and Du Plessis

Well, five years later, Mike Perry has finally received validation courtesy of Jon Jones who recently dubbed ‘Platinum’ the best African fighter.

“Who is the best African fighter: Izzy, Du Plessis, or Mike Perry?” Overdogs Podcast host Josh McLean asked Jon Jones during a recent episode.

“The real n**** himself, Mike Perry!” Jones replied with a laugh.

Clearly, all parties involved in the conversation were just having a little bit of fun, but to Mike Perry, it was nothing more than a case of “real recognizing real.”

Mike Perry is currently booked as the official backup for October 14’s highly anticipated clash between social media star Logan Paul and BJJ specialist Dillon Danis. The pair are scheduled to headline Misfits Boxing’s ‘The PRIME Card’ in Manchester, England. Should either man find themselves unable or unwilling to compete, ‘Platinum’ will step in and keep things moving forward.

As for Jon Jones, the reigning heavyweight champion will put his title on the line for the first time against perhaps the greatest heavyweight in UFC history, Stipe Miocic. They will headline the promotion’s return to the world’s most famous arena, Madison Square Garden at UFC 295 in November.

Darren Till accepts ‘Platinum’ Mike Perry’s challenge to fight on ‘The PRIME Card’ this fall: ‘Let’s go’

Darren TillDarren Till is ready to step inside the squared circle for a crossover clash with fellow former UFC standout, ‘Platinum’ Mike Perry.

Darren Till is ready to step inside the squared circle for a crossover clash with fellow former UFC standout, ‘Platinum’ Mike Perry.

Perry has been calling for a fight with Till ever since a 2018 sparring match put the pair at odds with one another, but Till appears to finally be ready to sign on the dotted line.

On Tuesday, Perry revealed himself to be the official backup for the highly anticipated grudge match between social media sensation Logan Paul and BJJ specialist Dillon Danis. However, Perry is more than open to strapping on the eight-ounce gloves for a guaranteed spot on the card, so long as it means finally getting his hands on Darren Till.

“I’ve been calling [Till] out for bare-knuckle, Perry said in an interview with Jamal Niaz. “Bare Knuckle’s been trying to get that, but I’m already here in England. I was talking bout Anthony Taylor talking sh*t on Twitter and Darren Till, we can put the gloves on since you’re scared to do it bare-knuckle. I’ll knock you out with eight-ounce gloves on. 

“I’ll be ready to fight. I’m training. I’ll be a stand-in. They gotta pay me regardless. I’m here for a check and that could get a lot bigger if I’ll be fighting on the card. That card could get a lot bigger if I’m fighting on the card, especially with a name like Darren Till” (h/t MiddleEasy).

Darren Till is Ready to Settle Things with Mike Perry in the Squared Circle

Shortly after, Perry reposted the interview and tagged Darren Till, asking if ‘The Gorilla’ was up for a fight. It didn’t take long for Till to respond, accepting the challenge laid down by the BKFC star.

“I say yes let’s go,” Till wrote in response.

Darren Till walked away from the UFC after dropping five of his last six fights inside the Octagon. ‘The Gorilla’ has expressed interest in re-signing with the promotion in the future, but perhaps he’ll settle a little business with Mike Perry first.

“I’m sure I could go in there and f*ck Mike Perry up, as we were meant to fight,” Till told MMA Junkie back in March. “Make a bit of money, get the body healthy, and whether the UFC like it or not, get back to the UFC. That’s still my main focus. They’re going to approach me, but if they are going to approach me, don’t waste my time. Offer me something astronomical. Otherwise, nope. I don’t need it.”

One way or another, Mike Perry will be in Manchester on October 14 as Misfits Boxing presents ‘The PRIME Card’ on pay-per-view. The event will feature co-headlining bouts, the first being the aforementioned scrap between Logan Paul and Dillon Danis. In the main event of the evening, UK-based social media star KSI will return to the ring for a showdown with undefeated pro boxer, Tommy Fury.
