Michael Joseph Perry[6] (born September 15, 1991) is an American professional mixed martial artist and bare-knuckle boxer currently competing in the Middleweight division of the Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship (BKFC). Perry also competed in the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) 15 times. As of September 5, 2024, he is #4 in the BKFC men's pound-for-pound rankings.[7]

Background

Perry was born in Flint, Michigan, on September 15, 1991. For much of his life, he moved around to different schools between Michigan and Florida. He said, "[In Michigan], I was one of maybe 10 white kids in the whole school, so I was bullied a lot. It was the same thing at other schools. I wouldn’t back down, so I would get into fights." This instability led him to a path of drugs, house arrest, probation violation, and jail.[8] Perry started training boxing at age 11.[1] Upon his release from jail for burglary, he got a job as a trainer at a UFC gym in Winter Springs, Florida. His work as a trainer led to his career as a fighter.[9]

Mixed martial arts career

Early career

Perry made his professional debut in September 2014, after completing 11 amateur fights with a record of 8–3.[1] He competed for several regional promotions across the United States. In just under two years, he fought nine times while finishing all of his opponents via Knockout/Technical Knockout.[10]

2016

Perry made his UFC debut on short notice against Lim Hyun-gyu on August 20, 2016, at UFC 202, after Sultan Aliev pulled out due to injury.[11] At the official weigh-ins, Perry faked a handshake with Lim then put his hands up yelling to Lim, "You thought you had a friend, boy!" before screaming at his opponent.[12] He defeated Lim via TKO in the first round after Perry dropped him twice with right hands, dropped him again with a left hook and then followed up with ground and pound before the referee jumped in to stop the fight.[13]

During the fight against Lim, Perry's cornerman and fellow fighter Alex Nicholson shouted during the pre-fight introductions, "He can't even open his motherfucking eyes." Nicholson was accused of racism for this, as Lim is Korean. Nicholson later addressed the comment on Twitter, saying, "I respect every man who steps in the cage and my comments were insensitive towards Lim I was hype for my brother but It's all love no hate." On the Monday following the fight Perry said on The MMA Hour, "I don't think any of my competition can see me, and when I hit Lim, I opened a lot of people's eyes."[14][15][16][17]

Perry faced Danny Roberts on October 8, 2016, at UFC 204.[18] At the official weigh-ins, Perry took a bite from a bar of chocolate and then told Roberts he was going to eat him alive.[19] He defeated Roberts via KO late in the third round after Perry hurt him with a knee from the clinch, dropped him with a right hand and then followed up with ground and pound before the referee jumped in to stop the fight.[20] The referee Marc Goddard appeared to stop the fight late, issuing an apology after the event via Twitter.[21]

Perry faced Alan Jouban, on December 17, 2016, at UFC on Fox 22.[22] At the official weigh-ins, Perry took a polaroid photo of Jouban and then tried to hand the photo to him as they traded words, but Jouban slapped it away with his hand and Perry aggressively feigned movement towards him while sticking his tongue out.[23] He lost the fight by unanimous decision.[24]

As the first bout of his new four-fight contract, Perry faced Geoff Neal on December 14, 2019, at UFC 245.[48][49] He lost the bout via first-round technical knockout, marking the first loss in his MMA career by knockout.[50]

Restaurant fights in Texas

In July 2020, Perry was questioned by police due to an incident at a restaurant in Lubbock, Texas, where three people were allegedly assaulted.

The man was unconscious when police arrived on the scene and he was hospitalized. Perry was charged with class A assault, a misdemeanor. Perry said his actions were a response to others initiating physical contact with him.[97][98] During the incident, Perry was also reported to have attacked a restaurant staffer, become involved in a physical altercation with a woman, and repeatedly used the racial slur "nigga."[99]

Domestic violence allegations

On October 20, 2020, Perry's ex-wife Danielle Nickerson gave an interview to the industry website MMA Junkie in which she described repeated incidents of verbal and physical abuse by Perry.

When Perry followed Nickerson to the Young residence, Young locked him out of the house and called 911.[100] Nickerson also alleged that during a prior incident, Perry struck her in the forehead while wearing his wedding ring, leaving a hematoma.

Perry denies the allegations and no charges were filed.[101]
