Perry (14-8 MMA, 3-0 BKFC) and Alvarez (30-8 MMA, 1-0 BKFC) will be competing for the promotion’s ‘King of Violence’ belt tonight.
Mike Perry will be returning to action for the first time since former UFC middleweight champion Luke Rockhold quit in the main event of BKFC 41. ‘Platinum’ has gone a perfect 3-0 in Bare Knuckle Fighting, earning decision wins over Michael Page and Julian Lane in his previous efforts.

That bout had marked the former UFC and Bellator lightweight champ’s first competition since April of 2021, when he lost a decision to Ok Rae Yoon under the ONE Championship banner.
