Bare Knuckle FC -Superster Mike Perry got some work with former UFC title holder Sean Strickland.
Mike Perry and Sean Strickland are cut from the same cloth. During their combat sport career, they have shown the tendency to never avoid fighting, in and out of the cage and ring.
Perry has become the face of bare fights since he left the UFC in 2021. He remains unbeaten in his bald boxing career in Bare Knuckle FC and defeated former champions Luke Rockhold and Eddie Alvarez during his promotional Stint.
Just like Perry, Strickland has received the love of fans all over the world for his brash personality and confrontational fighting style. While both parties prepare for their comebacks of combat sports, Strickland and Perry worked together at Xtreme Couture in Las Vegas.

Strickland regularly saves between fighting, against his teammates and online trolls that he invites during his camps in the gym. Strickland was attacked earlier this year for a brutal sparring competition with streamer Sneako, after many had criticized the former middleweight champion for sparring at a combat -like pace against the inexperienced maker of content.
Strickland has not fought since a medium -sized title Rematch Defeat against Dricus du Plessis on UFC 312. He is linked to a potential rematch with Israel Adesanya for his return, although nothing has been formally announced or booked at the moment.
Perry did not fight in the BKFC ring since he eliminated Thiago Alves in April 2024. He lost last summer in a short boxing match against Jake Paul after the withdrawal of Mike Tyson because of a medical issue.
Sean Strickland made an X-rated callout of former welterweight champion
While Strickland shows his return to the Octagon, he recently shouted a UFC 315 star who fell in the main event of the map. Belal Muhammad lost to Jack della Maddalena to bring his UFC -Welterweight title to end and Strickland partyed with the opportunity to call him.
At the moment Muhammad did not respond to the Callout of Strickland and it is linked to a possible confrontation with the undefeated Shavkat Rakhmonov in October. Muhammad and Rakhmonov would UFC 310 heads before Muhammad withdrew due to an infection.
Before UFC 315, Muhammad teased a potential move to middleweight, after labeling the 185 LB division the easiest in the UFC. But after his long -winning series in Welterweight, Mohammed has revenge on his head.
