A serious incident happened during Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship (BKFC) Tampa event. The altercation between Mike Perry and Julian Lane was so wild that several of the security guards were unsure how to intervene. Unlike many other MMA altercations – Perry and Lane actually already tried to submit each other with only a small fence between them.

The altercation started when Mike Perry, who just signed a contract with the BKFC, was expressing his excitement to join the promotion. Suddenly, some papers flew right into the former UFC fighter. It was then confirmed that the papers were thrown by BKFC veteran fighter, Julian Lane.
The incident didn’t stop there, Lane continued on with rude behavior and trash-talked famously hotheaded Mike Perry. Perry simply wouldn’t let it slide and took off his mic and headset and charged at Lane who was in the crowd. A wild brawl ensued.
