Watch Mike Perry make Eddie Alvarez quit at BKFC 56
"Platinum" Mike Perry faced former UFC lightweight champion and former two-time Bellator lightweight champion Eddie Alvarez in the main event of December's Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship 56 event.
The symbolic 'King of Violence' championship was on the line and Perry forced Alvarez to not come out of his corner for the third round.
Alvarez wobbled Perry in the opening round with a right hand. His jab and right cross gave Perry problems, but the tides would turn in the second frame. The two exchanged heavy shots in the second round. Perry relentlessly pressured Alvarez and both men connected cleanly. At the conclusion of the second round, Alvarez told his corner, "I can't see. I can't see." Alvarez' corner asked him if he wanted to stop and he again said that he couldn't see. The corner immediately stopped the fight.
Perry faces Thiago Alves in the main event of Bare Knuckle Mania IV on Saturday at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles.
