Mike Perry made sure to let Michael Page know what he is getting himself into.
The former UFC welterweight, now a bareknuckle boxer, is set to welcome Bellator star Page to the BKFC ring next month. The two are set to headline BKFC 27 on Aug. 20 in London.
It will be Perry’s second bareknuckle fight after a successful debut earlier this year with a unanimous decision over Julian Lane. Perry said he is eager to step back in the ring and promises to take the fight to Page.
“I don’t want to scare you away, ‘MVP,'” Perry said at the BKFC 27 pre-fight news conference. “I’m grateful for the opportunity to fight you. You have a great name, and you’ve had an awesome career.
“I’m going to break your hands with my forehead. I’m going to put pressure on you constantly, and there’s going to be nothing you can do to get me off you. I’m going to be constantly in your face throwing heat.”
Both Perry and Page are known for their entertaining striking. Perry expects nothing but fireworks at BKFC 27 and guarantees fans plenty of action.
“I give the fight business real fights,” Perry said. “I go forward and put the pressure on. I take hits, but I eat them like candy. I’m looking forward to fighting ‘MVP.’ He’s got a surreal highlight reel.
“We both knock people unconscious. We’ve both had very entertaining careers. But the best fighters in the world, they don’t want no problem with me inside that ring, I guarantee you.”
