Mike Perry and Jeremy Stephens literally can’t wait to get their hands on each other.
The former UFC stars have simply been killing it ever since they entered the BKFC.
Perry has become the face of the BKFC over the years with a perfect 5-0 record in bare knuckle boxing, with wins over former UFC champs Luke Rockhold, Eddie Alvarez, and top-10 UFC middleweight Michael ‘Venom’ Page.
Perry is the inaugural ‘King of Violence’ titleholder.
Meanwhile, Stephens is a 35-fight UFC veteran with three straight wins in BKFC. ‘Lil Heathen’ claims he’s the new face of BKFC after breaking Alvarez’s jaw in the main event of Knuckle Mania 5 in January.
Perry and Stephens are set to collide at BKFC 82 on Oct. 4, in Newark, New Jersey, but the fighters nearly came to blows tonight in Hollywood, Florida after exchanging nasty words.

Mike Perry blows up after facing off with Jeremy Stephens at BKFC 80
Perry and Stephens entered the Squared Circle on Friday right before Yoel Romero’s successful BKFC debut to promote their upcoming fight next month.
Perry and Stephens immediately threatened to knock out each other and things got ugly with x-rated insults.
‘Platinum’ pressed his head into Stephens and the fighters were quickly separated. Perry was held back by three security guards as he tried to rush at Stephens.
“Are you sick, bro?” Perry yelled at Stephens, presumably for something he said.
“I’m gonna f— you up so bad,” Perry threatened Stephens before he was escorted out of the ring by security.
BKFC headliner punched the canvas repeatedly in pain after eating a nasty KO shot
Leonardo Perdomo has more BKFC wins than Mike Perry and Jeremy Stephens combined.
That’s right, the BKFC heavyweight improved to 9-0 in the Squared Circle with a knockout of Arnold Adams in the main event of BKFC 80.
After being dropped by a massive shot by Perdomo, Adams punched the floor over and over again out of pain. The referee continued counting but stopped the contest seconds after.
This was Perdomo’s ninth-straight first-round knockout. He has never left the first round.
Following his win, Perdomo called for a fight with BKFC heavyweight champion ‘Big’ Ben Rothwell.
