Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship’s platinum star is back. Mike Perry vs. Jeremy Stephens headlines BKFC 82 on Saturday, with part-owner Conor McGregor doing the media rounds.
Perry reinvented himself through BKFC after leaving the UFC. Currently 5-0 in bare knuckle, Perry’s growing foothold in the space led him to a crossover boxing fight with Jake Paul last year. Perry, who has fought as high as light heavyweight, is on a three-fight KO streak after stopping Thiago Alves, Eddie Alvarez, and Luke Rockhold. He also notably holds a bare-knuckle win over active UFC contender Michael “Venom” Page.
Fellow UFC alum Stephens, who competed exclusively at featherweight and lightweight, moves up to welterweight against Perry. “Lil Heathen” also found a second act in BKFC, stopping former UFC champion Alvarez and Jimmie Rivera en route to a 3-0 record.
Speaking of Rivera, he’ll compete against short-notice replacement Timmy Mason after UFC Hall of Famer Frankie Edgar pulled out of his BKFC debut.
