Mike Perry dominated and stopped Thiago Alves in the Knucklemania 4 main event on April 27 at Peacock Theater in Los Angeles. The unbeaten American dropped Brazil’s former BKFC middleweight champion and fellow former UFC fighter with a big left hook. The official time was 1 minute into the opening round.
With the victory by knockout, 32-year-old Perry of Flint, Michigan improved to 5-0. Coconut Creek, Florida-based 40-year-old Alves, who made his ring return, dropped to 2-1.
“My easiest fight yet – just like I said it would be,” Mike Perry said post win. “I’m the undisputed king of bare knuckle. I’m the No. 1 Pound for Pound. [Expletive] anybody who thinks differently.”
Perry also called out former UFC fighter Darren Till of Liverpool, England.
“Darren Till, you fat [expletive], get over here, or I’ll come to you in the U.K. Nate Diaz has got a fight with Jorge Masvidal. We should throw hands. Shout out to him. I’m not a hater, bro, we’re all just out here trying to make it, and I’m fighting for every [expletive] step that I take.”
