Mike Perry calls out "original bare-knuckle boxer" Jorge Masvidal despite recent 'BMF' comments
Mike Perry was crowned the 'King of Violence' after a resounding TKO (corner stoppage) victory over former UFC lightweight champion Eddie Alvarez in the main event clash of BKFC 56.
In the lead-up to this showdown, Perry boldly asserted that the BKFC title held greater significance than the UFC's renowned BMF championship.
In an exclusive interview with Sportskeeda MMA, Perry dismissed Justin Gaethje's claim as the rightful titleholder of the 'BMF' championship. He went on to declare that the original BMF champion, Jorge Masvidal, holds the authentic claim to the title.
Recently, Perry seized the opportunity to challenge Masvidal for a potential showdown following the victory over Alvarez. The BKFC marquee attraction wrote:
"A definite tough fight, the toughest out there, would be the original bare-knuckle boxer, I watched him on Kimbo Fights on YouTube in high school.
"I know calling him out could open a whole new world between us but man to man for the prize of a lifetime it would be an honor to bare-knuckle fight @GamebredFighter"

Following the victory, Perry has set his sights on thrilling superfights against prominent names in combat sports. Among the potential matchups, Perry is eyeing a super fight with UFC star Conor McGregor.
