Former UFC star Mike Perry wants to continue his winning streak in bare-knuckle boxing by taking on his biggest name yet; Nate Diaz.
The pair were once fully rostered UFC welterweights, but having both left the promotion are now looking for options in various different disciplines. Diaz quit MMA's top outfit after 15 years under their banner, while Perry has been on a hot streak since his departure from the company in the middle of last year.
Diaz will still have to wait out his three-month non-compete clause after finishing his contract with a submission victory over Tony Ferguson, and is likely to have myriad options across many disciplines. But he could fancy the challenge of Perry, who has won three times including a stunning BKFC victory over Michael 'Venom' Page in London.
