Exciting bare-knuckle fighter Mike Perry is set to headline the BKFC “Knucklemania 4” pay-per-view event on Saturday, April 27, 2024, at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles, California. He will face off against UFC veteran Thiago Alves in what promises to be a thrilling showdown.
Perry expressed his respect for Alves, acknowledging his past fights against top competitors, but emphasized that Alves’s defining moment was his loss to Georges St-Pierre. Perry sees this upcoming bout as a significant opportunity for both fighters to showcase their skills and determination.
At 32 years old, Perry holds a flawless 4-0 record in the BKFC, securing impressive victories over Eddie Alvarez and Luke Rockhold. On the other hand, 40-year-old Alves last competed in June 2021 when he triumphed over Ulysses Díaz, starting his BKFC career with a 2-0 record.
Perry alluded to Alves possibly lacking the same level of commitment and passion for the sport, asserting his own dedication as the reigning “King of Violence” and promising to bring his A-game to the upcoming fight.
Knucklemania 4 marks the BKFC’s debut event in California following the unanimous approval of bare-knuckle boxing by the state’s commission. The event will also feature former UFC heavyweights Ben Rothwell and Todd Duffy in the co-main event.
