Mike Perry: I have the skills and abilities to knock out Nate Diaz
Mike Perry has been away from the cage of years, but his hands have looked sharper than ever. Perry (14-8) parted ways with the UFC in 2021 and found a new home at BKFC, where he went on an undefeated run – including capturing the promotion's "King of Violence" title. His return to MMA will come against a fan favorite in Nate Diaz (21-13), as the pair square off in the Rousey vs.
Carano card May 16 at Intuit Dome in Inglewood, Calif. , in a fight that streams on Netflix. "I'm looking to go in and give the people the bloody people's fight, people's main event show that they're looking for, the real BMF-style altercation," Perry told TMZ Sports .
"Meet Nate in the middle and spread some blood. " Diaz has only been finished twice in his combat sports career – one of them being a doctor's stoppage against Jorge Masvidal. Perry believes he has what it takes to put out the durable Diaz.
"Yeah, I think so," Perry said. "I think after everything, years in our careers – don't get me wrong. Nate is very durable, very tough.
I think I can have the skills and abilities, the way training is going, I think I will be very sharp, very dangerous, very on point, and targeted. I'm grateful for the fight, the opportunity, and I'm looking to capitalize on it, and give the fans a very violent and intense, bloody show. "That's what we're going to get into.
