Undefeated UFC welterweight contender, Khamzat Chimaev has recently taken former division title challenger, Darren Till under his wing at AllStars MMA in Sweden as part of the Liverpool native’s resurgance as a middleweight contender. And according to UFC alum, Mike Perry, the unbeaten finisher also offered him the opportunity to train alongside him during a recent trip to Russia.
Perry, who competed 15 times under the UFC banner since his 2016 landing with the Dana White-led promotion, ended his time with the organization following a unanimous decision loss to upcoming feature, Daniel Rodriguez at UFC on ABC 2 back in April of last year.
In the time since, the Flint striker has switched his focus to bare knuckle fighting under the David Feldman-founded, BKFC (Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship) banner, scoring an impressive 2-0 record.
Headlining the promotion’s visit to the U.K. earlier this year, Perry defeated former Bellator welterweight title challenger, Michael Page in an overtime round decision victory following a debut judging win over The Ultimate Fighter alum, Julian Lane.
Speaking on a potential team-up with undefeated welterweight talent, Chimaev during a recent interview with Helen Yee, Perry claimed that he had received an invitation to train with the former, however, turned down the request due to the volatile nature of the Republic of Chechnya.
“He (Khamzat Chimaev) told me to come to Chechnya when I was in Russia,” Mike Perry said. “I was like, ‘Yeah, I’m probably not going to make it bro.’ I heard that’s no man’s land… shouldn’t go there.”
“I mean, that’s a cool rumor that it’s so dangerous that you shouldn’t go there and it’s probably got some nice views,” Mike Perry explained. “But I’ve heard Chechnya is pretty dangerous and maybe that’s why Khamzat’s so dangerous… and a lot of the other Russian fighters [are dangerous too].” (Transcribed by Sportskeeda)
Perry’s most recent victory under the UFC banner came in the form of a unanimous decision win over fellow Octagon veteran, Mickey Gall back in June 2020.

Mike Perry continued to do Mike Perry things this week, but this time, he took his patented ‘Platinum Heat’ to Moscow.
The former UFC welterweight turned BKFC brawler recently made a trip to Russia to corner his friend and training partner Alex Nicholson as he prepares for a bout at Ren TV Fight Club this week. During a press conference ‘Platinum’ got into a scuffle with Russian middleweight standout Magomed Ismailov, a fighter with more than 10 years of combat sports experience and 17 wins to his credit per Tapology.
Following the incident, Mike Perry gave some insight on the situation while speaking to his Instagram followers.
“I almost got jumped in there but luckily people broke it up,” Perry said. “In Russia, if you call someone a ‘mother f*cker,’ they think you talking about someone’s mom, so then the whole team comin’ to get you. But in America when you say ‘mother f*cker,’ it’s like normal words, mother f*cker. It’s normal, man, I’m not talking about your mama. Chill bro, one on one.”
It’s not the first time Mike Perry has found himself at the center of a brawl. In his first appearance with Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship, he got into an altercation with former The Ultimate Fighter cast member Julian Lane who was sitting in the crowd. The two later settled things inside the squared circle at the promotion’s second annual Knucklemania event, but not before Perry appeared at the pre-fight press conference with a baseball bat in hand.
Perry’s last appearance inside the squared circle was at BKFC 27 in August. He defeated Bellator MMA star Michael ‘Venom’ Page in an entertaining six-round war. Since then, ‘Platinum’ has been pushing for a boxing match with YouTuber turned professional boxer Jake Paul or a bare-knuckle brawl with the hottest free agent on the market, Nate Diaz.
Following his fourth-round submission over Tony Ferguson and UFC 279, Nate Diaz completed the final fight of his UFC contract and became a free agent for the first time since signing with the organization over 15 years ago. While it’s anyone’s guess as to what comes next for the Stockton Samurai, it has become quite […]
Following his fourth-round submission over Tony Ferguson and UFC 279, Nate Diaz completed the final fight of his UFC contract and became a free agent for the first time since signing with the organization over 15 years ago.
While it’s anyone’s guess as to what comes next for the Stockton Samurai, it has become quite clear that everyone is ready to be in the Nate Diaz business including David Feldman, the founder of Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship. The exec has gone on record saying that his dream match would be between the man from 209 and BKFC’s top star, ‘Platinum’ Mike Perry.
The former UFC fighter turned BKFC brawler recently appeared on ‘The Fighter vs. The Writer‘ podcast to discuss Diaz’s potential signing with the bare-knuckle fight group.
“My first initial reaction was, I don’t know if that’s where he’s going, where his ideas are,” Perry said. “Because he said he wants to go take over other sports, as far as he wants to be the [UFC President] Dana White of an organization, or the David Feldman of an organization, and run the show and show people how to do it. But he also said things where he’s still got a lot of gas left in the tank.
“He’s still interested in some big fights in his career, and I think that’s what it’s about. If he wants to accept the challenge, to challenge himself, he loves to box. I know he likes jiu-jitsu, too, so I don’t know if it would be something he would be fully interested in because, without jiu-jitsu against me and just boxing, I don’t know if he sees himself having a chance against me in the bare-knuckle boxing ring.”
With multiple organizations and the rise of mixed martial artists entering the world of boxing, fighters have more opportunities to make the most of their limited time competing in their prime. Two fights into his BKFC career and it appears that Mike Perry has finally found his true home in combat sports. After a successful debut against Ultimate Fighter alum Julian Lane at Knucklemania 2, ‘Platinum’ scored the biggest win of his career against Bellator MMA star Michael ‘Venom’ Page at BKFC 27 in London.
Already one of the promotion’s biggest names, Perry is banking a lot of money inside the squared circle, a fact that could appeal to Nate Diaz who, by all accounts, is looking to cash in on some big money fights before hanging up his gloves for good.
“We’re talking real big money,” Perry said. “Since fighting with bare-knuckle and Triller, my taxes look like what the UFC fighters got paid the other night — everyone, the whole roster, who got paid the other night on one card, that’s what my brackets look like from fighting a couple of fights. We’re talking big money.
“It’s a real opportunity for anyone involved. It’s not just we’re talking about the sport. It’s real fighting and real money, so if you want that real sh*t in your life, come and get some of this ‘Platinum’ heat.”
Though Perry is more than ready to throw hands with the Stockton native, he made it clear that there is no animosity towards Nate Diaz.
“It’s a lot of respect there for Nate Diaz,” Perry said. “A lot of fans have said over the years that I’m kind of kin to the Diaz brothers, and that we have the same initial feelings toward fighting. When we’re fighting, it’s a real fight. All that friendly stuff, it doesn’t have to be there until the victor is chosen, and then we can talk about being cool. It’s no animosity. He’s a great competitor, and I am as well.”
