BKFC president David Feldman reacts to Mike Perry taking Dillon Danis fight rather than return to BKFC
Key Points:
- Mike Perry, known for his UFC career and as the face of BKFC, has not fought in bare-knuckle boxing since October 2025 and is unlikely to return before the end of 2026.
- Perry recently returned to MMA with a win over Nate Diaz in May and is scheduled to fight Dillon Danis in an MMA bout on August 29 in Florida.
- BKFC president David Feldman expressed optimism about arranging a high-profile bare-knuckle fight between Perry and Darren Till in early 2027, contingent on Perry's negotiations and future plans.
- Perry still has remaining fights on his BKFC contract but has been permitted to compete elsewhere, highlighting ongoing discussions about his commitment and financial terms with BKFC.
- Feldman remains supportive of Perry's career moves and hopes for successful negotiations after the Danis fight, emphasizing the challenges of promoting and selling tickets in combat sports.
