Mike Perry was recently announced as the backup fighter for the Logan Paul vs. Dillon Danis in light of Danis pulling out. Danis has a history of doing something like that. Perry is the face of bare-knuckle boxing as of now.
Perry’s appearance as a backup fighter was appreciated by none other than UFC Hall of Famer, Michael ‘The Count Bisping’. Bisping posted on X, formerly Twitter, to praise Perry. In a hilarious turn of events, Perry replied to the post, albeit by proposing a bare-knuckle fight with Bisping in the future. Bisping’s post was insinuating that Perry was the real fighter among the other fighters at the stage.
