Darren Till

Mike Perry is one of the most unfiltered personalities combat sports has ever produced, and his interviews are always chaos. Nicknamed Platinum, Perry built his early career in mixed martial arts as a UFC welterweight known for explosive brawling before transitioning to Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship, where he has become one of the promotion's biggest stars. Perry has openly shared wild stories from his past, including warming up bologna sandwiches on a gas stove growing up in Central Florida, and has bluntly called out rivals like Darren Till and Alex Pereira in interviews. Known for relentless, off-the-wall honesty and ferocious knockout power, Perry's unpredictable personality remains one of the sport's most entertaining sideshows.

BKFC president David Feldman says he is confident he can make a Mike Perry versus Darren Till fight in early 2027, though the timing hinges on how Perry's August 29 MMA bout against Dillon Danis plays out. Perry, who has not competed in BKFC since October 2025, is under contract with the promotion but has been permitted to take outside opportunities. Feldman expressed confidence that Perry will defeat Danis and that negotiations for the Till matchup will follow.
