- Perry’s contract with BKFC still includes several potential fights.
A Long-Awaited Return to Bare-Knuckle
Since October 2025, Mike Perry has not stepped into the ring for the BKFC. Yet, David Feldman, the organization’s president, remains hopeful: a return for the American striker is not out of the question. And for good reason—his contract with BKFC still includes several potential fights. Feldman has even mentioned a possible bout against Darren Till in early 2027, a prospect that has bare-knuckle fans dreaming.
But before that, Perry has chosen to turn his attention back to MMA, a sport where he has already shined in the past. His next challenge? A showdown against Dillon Danis, scheduled for August 29 in Florida. A fight that could change everything.
The Fight Against Danis: A Decisive Test
This MMA duel is no ordinary match. For BKFC, it’s a full-scale test. Feldman is banking on a dominant victory for Perry, convinced that his striking will wreak havoc. "He’d crush Danis," he insists. A convincing performance could not only restart negotiations for a bare-knuckle return but also allow Perry to secure a better contract.
Broadcast live, this fight will be a true springboard. If Perry confirms his dominance, BKFC could speed up talks for a 2027 return. Conversely, a loss could delay—or even jeopardize—his plans with the organization.
A Future Still Uncertain
Despite Feldman’s optimism, Perry’s future remains uncertain. His decision to prioritize MMA shows he hasn’t made up his mind yet. Still, his bare-knuckle record speaks for itself: spectacular wins and undeniable popularity.
One thing is certain: if Perry returns, it will be under the spotlight. Whether in MMA or bare-knuckle, his future fights promise fireworks. And for the fans, the wait might just be worth it.
