Just when we started thinking press conference shenanigans are an Eastern Europe staple former UFC welterweight Mike Perry proves us wrong.
Perry is no stranger to fighting outside of the cage and this bare knuckle fighting championship press conference was no different. There Perry even brought a reinforcement in the form of a bat he randomly took out.

Perry previously fought 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.

Perry is about to make his debut at Bareknuckle FC. Previously he was featured on the Triller card where he defended the reputation of MMA against Boxer Michael Seals.
