“Platinum” Mike Perry has found a sweet little niche for himself in the combat sports world, emerging as the “King of Violence” under the BKFC banner while also picking up a win in Triad Combat a few years back.
Perry is undefeated, in fact, since exiting the UFC a few years back, and now has an impending showdown with another octagon vet in Thiago “Pitbull” Alves at BKFC KnuckleMania 4 later this month.
First impressions are everything, as they say, and Perry recently gave his first impression of Thiago Alves to Cageside Press.
“Thiago trying to play it cool. My first impression was, he’s just another [Eddie] Alvarez to me. Thiago Alvarez to me. I’mma punch a hole in his face,” exclaimed Perry. “I respect Thiago, but that has nothing to do with the skills that I’m going to use to put on him when we go to fight April 27.”
“We can be friends after. I don’t think he’ll want to be my friend after I do what I do to him.”
There are plenty of fight fans who have clamored for Mike Perry to get on the Mike Tyson vs. Jake Paul card in July— but the likelihood of that happening appears slim.
“Probably not, man. Bareknuckle is very damaging to my hands. I will need a break after I break Thiago’s face with my knuckles on April 27. If that fight’s in July, it all depends on April 27 how easily- I don’t think Thiago’s going down easily,” suggested Perry. “He’s saying he’s prepared for a war, I’m trying to be clean and smooth in there. And he can talk all the sh*t he wants, he says he doesn’t see me move and sh*t. But just like the fans who have no idea, I know what I’m doing when I’m in there, and it’s proven.”
“I’m undefeated in the past few years. Really I’m undefeated in life out here. I’m making the money, I’m cashing the checks, I’m breaking the necks, and I’m breaking their face with these knuckles.” Transitioning into promo mode, Perry finished up by saying “I’m the face of the game. King of violence!”
The King of Violence returns on April 27, 2024 at BKFC KnuckleMania 4 against Thiago Alves.
