Mike Perry Defeats Michael “Venom” Page at BKFC 27 in Sudden Death, Calls Jake Paul out for a Fight
Mike Perry walked away with a broken jaw and a huge win over the former title challenge Michael “Venom” Page in Bellator MMA.
The veteran welterweights battled it out in a 175-pound main event that saw both fighters landing big punches. The fight was so close after five rounds that the judges scored a majority draw. Rather than end the fight there, under BKFC rules, a fight went a sixth and deciding round to declare the winner.
That’s where Perry poured on the aggression and continued to pursue Page with punches until the bell sounded. The judges ultimately gave the fight to Perry, who moves to 2-0 in BKFC since signing with the promotion.
“I said I was going to do six rounds,” Perry shouted. “I didn’t know [I was built for bare-knuckle] it but now I do. This is definitely for me. I love this cause a lot of tough men are scared of this and I want to be the toughest SOB out there.”
A challenge was issued out by Perry who made the call out for a challenge that could pay big money if the contracts are right.
“The next one let me call out real quick — Jake Paul you need an opponent,” Perry said. “You need a money fight, I’m the real money fight. Maybe I’ll put the pillows back on if you’re scared to get in here.”
The YouTuber turned pro boxer put out a tweet saying he is fighting this October vs. a boxer with a winning record, it would be interesting to see who Paul fights next who could be a challenge for him. However a fight vs. Perry whether it’s in boxing or bare-knuckle would be a challenge for Paul who is looking to continue to show why the hype is there for him.
