Mike Perry has recently expressed his desire to challenge Sean Strickland in a bare-knuckle boxing match. Perry’s reputation as the unofficial champion of bare-knuckle boxing has soared since joining the Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship in 2022. With an unblemished record of 3-0, he has defeated renowned MMA competitors, including former UFC middleweight champion Luke Rockhold. Perry’s most recent triumph over Rockhold in the second round captivated the attention of fans. It established him as the central attraction in bare-knuckle boxing.
During BKFC 41, the presence of Conor McGregor, the illustrious two-division champion of the UFC, heightened the anticipation. Following Perry’s victory over Rockhold, McGregor joined him in the ring for an intense face-off. Looking ahead, Mike Perry has shifted his focus to another prominent figure in the UFC. Following Sean Strickland’s impressive second-round TKO of Abus Magomedov in the main event of UFC Vegas 76, Perry took the opportunity to challenge him publicly. On Twitter, Perry tagged UFC president Dana White and the official BKFC account. He urged them to organize a bare-knuckle boxing bout between him and Strickland.
However, Strickland currently has other priorities that demand his attention. Securing his second consecutive win at UFC Vegas 76, he pushed his record as a UFC middleweight to 9-2. The outspoken contender wasted no time in calling for a title shot against none other than UFC champion Israel Adesanya. Strickland’s aspirations for a championship opportunity may delay his response to Perry’s challenge.
With their distinct fighting styles and charismatic personalities, both Mike Perry and Sean Strickland possess the potential to deliver an electrifying showdown. Fans eagerly await Strickland’s decision. A bare-knuckle boxing match between these two fighters would undoubtedly capture the imagination of fight enthusiasts worldwide.
Sean Strickland put down Abus Magomedov in the second round via TKO
Controversial fighter Sean Strickland showcased his dominance once again, securing an impressive victory over Abus Magomedov, maintaining his undefeated record in 2023.
Strickland demonstrated his fearless nature by accepting the challenge of facing an unranked opponent, a decision that carried both risks and rewards. Early in the bout, Strickland faced adversity when Abus accidentally poked him in the eye. However, Strickland exhibited tremendous resilience and continued the fight.
Although Abus showcased great activity in the first round, Strickland rebounded emphatically in the second round. Utilizing his exceptional counter-striking skills, he strategically inflicted damage on Magomedov, relentlessly applying pressure throughout the round.
The mounting pressure eventually overwhelmed Magomedov, leading to his defeat via second-round TKO, as Strickland emerged victorious once again. With his undefeated streak intact for the year, Strickland wasted no time in calling for a title shot, aiming to challenge the current middleweight champion.
