The BKFC 56 main event pitted Perry against former UFC lightweight champion Eddie Alvarez. Alvarez showed off his speed and punching prowess in the first round. However, Perry reversed the tide in his favor in the second. He did substantial damage to Alvarez with his size and power, causing his corner to call the fight due to the injury surrounding Eddie’s left eye. This victory declared Perry the “King of Violence” and awarded him the first BKFC belt.
