Mike Perry was born for this. He is an actual knucklehead. Can you imagine having to throw hands with this guy?
I can imagine sort of briefly considering it and then apologizing.
As a Muaythai guy,I can definitely imagine. I don't want to bare knuckle box with out my other tools. Perry will smoke nearly anyone in bkfc
Those the easiest to knock out, only man i fear is god. I see so many openings on him, jus his opps sucks!
@@nicholai7300he would kill you even if you could use what you want
@@sonwulf3750go fight him
Those body blows snatched any semblance of desire right out of Luke's mind.
well spotted:))
no fighter stops for a tooth.. spit them out.. its time for Luke to promote perfume and underwear and its hard to do with your teeth destroyed.. so I get it:)) its just props for Mike! he came to die - Lude didn’t..
@@chad8873 his desire left his body well before then.
@arturkoriakin1766 yeah, Mike is obviously all about that. Luke, on the other hand, not so much. In all fairness to Luke, he has other options to make a nice living, whereas Mike is pretty limited. Maybe he could carve out a niche as an enforcer for the mob, but his potential revenue streams are more limiter. Both are products of circumstance.
@@kevinquartemont2313 I noticed that too. At some point Perry hit Rockhold with a couple strong AF body shots... Rockhold started quickly moving away (side to side). He got hit in the body again and you could see him quit at that point. I didn't expect the end to come so soon after that, but I knew Rockhold had no chance of winning after that. He already mentally quit the fight.
Having to fight Mike Perry bare knuckle is a terrible nightmare.
oh yeee
That is an understatement. Perry is an animal. I can't see any of these former UFC guys after Eddie and Luke wanting any part of Mike. They need to find some real brawlers to deal with him. Smaller guys like that have an advantage, duck your head and come in swinging. Taller guys knuckles hit the skull and it either jams up your knuckles or breaks your hand alotogether. I screwed up two fingers and it took almost a year for my hand to be totally right after a street fight I won because I did just that. The tape helps a bit but you either have to accept your hands are gonna be messed up or throw to the body first to open up the clean shot to the face.
@@OSYofRR i fking hate the hand injuries, broken fingers, even sprains are so painful imo, i can't comprehend bare knuckle boxing man that's fcked especially against a maniac like him with zero fear. your hand breaks youre fcked
Nigerian nightmare
2:18 flailing fairies
As soon as Luke felt the first bareknuckle punch, he knew it wasn't for him.
Luke is too old and too beat up
Luke knows he has other means to make a living. The Yoel Ronero knee and the Jan jaw break surely hurt worrse.
@@zacharypropps3861 He gave up and him feet... what else needs to be said?
The first landed punch was right to the nuts
he is weak
Mike Perry is no joke. He just doesn't stop and can take punishment all day long. He was born for this.
Exactly. He ate shots like they were nothing and kept pushing forward. Dude is built differently.
He is the king of violence
Imagine Tony Ferguson in bare knuckle
@@ZZ-bq2lp He would do well but sadly he's past his prime. Tony would be a gate keeper to the real contenders.
@@ZZ-bq2lpright now i dont think tony beats any professional fighter
That Nigerian power was too much for Luke to deal with💀 Eddie will definitely have his hands full Saturday night 👊👊🏼
Is Perry Nigerian?, I wouldn't be surprised!😂😂😂
@@sheriffquickperry is nuts i wouldn't doubt him saying he is martian.
2%@@sheriffquick
@@EatMyShortsAU I heard 🤣🤣🤣🤣. 2% WOW
@@c91humungoYou'll do nothing !
It's like clockwork. With every Mike Perry opponent in BKFC, there is a point when they just realize he's not going to stop and you can read it on their face when they're giving up.
Except for MVP who mauled him (even if the judges stole him the fight)
I swear and naw they ain’t steal nun from mvp Mike won that fair
As a cage fighter Perry rarely threw kicks whereas kicks were a major part of Rockhold's game. It was stupid of Rockhold to take this fight imo.
He is a fighter, fighters take fights.
DUH! A good manager would not have let him do this imo. He never had a chance. If he really needed the money or they offered him stupid money then it makes sense.@@LegendaryArchiver
He really needed the money@@cstraley
Perry rarely threw kicks, and know anything about boxing
Pretty sure he’s broke. Only reason he even made that half assed mma comeback nevermind bkfc
His style was based on kicking and takedowns . Tailor made for Perry . Now is the real test upcoming for him but weight could be factor in favour of Mike but Eddie is tough as nails .
roof, that fight is going to be brutal, I don't see Eddie backing off, he likes to brawl
I think Perry will take Eddie out quickly, we will see, it’ll be an awesome fight
Agreed. When you think of Rockhold you think left body kicks and takedown/control. This was never gonna end well.
Lol? Have you seen Eddie lately. Tell me you’re a casual without telling me.
Even Mendes will give mike a good go.
I remember watching this live and the lead up to it. I think it was the biggest moment in the history of Bareknuckle boxing at the time and it solidified Mike Perry as a real Sports icon. Bareknuckle has its own unique identity as a style of fighting, and its Mike Perry. It takes experience and toughness as well as skill, and its not something thats easy to get experience in..... I can't wait to watch future events!
100% Agree. Glad to see Perry doing well in BKFC. Been a fan since his debut in UFC and it was hard to watch his downfall there.
@TheCreth808 yeah it was good to see him but it was a shame he never get there, fan wise he did. The lad cracks me up, can you remember the clip of him some Christmas time, cutting weight in a home sauna tent? He was making up daft lyrics, he cracks me up 😁
Gotta be honest I couldn't stand Perry in UFC. After Cowboy snapped his arm and Perry went on his downward spiral i kinda felt bad for him though. I'm glad he's found his place and dude finally grew on me. I'll still be rooting for Alvarez tonight but Perry is okay in my book.
I agree 💯. Mike Perry is the king of violence
Sports icon is a stretch.
I love how the referee looks disappointed in Rockhold for not wanting to continue, knowing damn well he’d cry being punched once by Perry.
Seemed like Luke felt like it would easy to fight bare knuckle and as soon as he felt the first few shots he went on the back foot and eventually didn’t want to take any more. Can’t blame the guy it must suck 😂 but Perry just lives in the fire and is happy to be hit he’s a mad man
These comments are so ignorant. The dude literally took elbows and knees to the face, his whole career. I think a knee is a bit worse than a bare knuckle punch….
@@playdiscgolf1546maybe not taking the shots but throwing them definitively hurts way more
@@playdiscgolf1546 It’s clear you haven’t trained or been in fights before. Taking bare knuckle punches hurts more and cause more damage. Look at bare knuckle fighters faces after the fights, they are usually destroyed no matter who wins. It’s brutal. Luke was never a boxer, this was a bad decision by him.
@@javiersilva1577 Elbow / Knee > Bareknuckle punches
you act like elbows and knees are hitting all the time meanwhile the whole fight your getting hit bareknuckle off course its doing more damage don't be ignorant@@NoaVanSnick
Thank you BKFC for having these great fighters on!
Luke had really good footwork and good jabs. He only got hit when he was standing in front of Mike Perry and was not moving.
"Really good footwork....standing in front of Mike" 😂 Yo😂😂
Platinum Mike Perry showing the World how to be tough.
Mate... even his nose is soft. He's just another African man.
2:12 that push punch was evil 😆 after getting rocked Mike was thinking..”your fcking eating this one mfcker”
Let's go Mike Perry!!! This is his world ... Rockhold was never tough enough for this
Pls stop if this was mma rock hold would kick that boy stomach and send it flying thru his back tell me I’m lying
@@jayman1819too bad this is isn't mma hey?
you should definitely take on rockhold or perry.. they’re definitely tougher than you bud
Says some fat dude behind a keyboard eating cheetos 😂 I hate when random people on the internet try to belittle professional fighters
He had the balls to step into that ring with Perry, by that alone he is 'tough enough' by whatever metric that matters
Platinum Mike came with that heat 🔥
good fight. Perry didn't waste a single inside push with Rockhold. Crazy fight iq
Rockhold: Full of himself...Perry Full of punches for Rockhold....Us fans: Extremely satisfying🤣
I love Mike Perry’s reaction to him winning. He reacted like a Mike Perry fan 😂😂😂
Mike Perry was just born for this and he and the world realized it
0:49 slow it down to 0.25 playback speed, that was definitely below the waist line, watching this live I thought Perry caught him with a nice body shot and Luke was faking it, I was wrong lol.
You also have to realize Luke's c0k starts at his Belly Button.
That was a wicked fight! Former UFC stars fighting here is the best!
What a war!! Luke Rockhold Vs Mike Perry was a classic 👏👏👏👏
I watch perry before I start my workout routine....beast mode is the only way to fight.... impeccable face defense 🤷 every punch just fuels him more🔥🔥🔥👌...Happy New Year's
2:12… I just keep rewatching it.. it’s beautiful what he did.. he was brawling.. but he was technical.. He’s got that dawg in him. Makes me want to do push ups and go hit the heavy bag.. 😂
Lol me too ! I’ll do weights for like two days after watching a good fight , then back to just chillin watching tv .
thats the punch that took luke to the dentist to remove 3 more of his front teeth
The fact former UFC stars aren’t financially set up for life such that they don’t have to come to this promotion is a disgrace
It ain't all about the money, rockhold was a cocky cock thought he was tougher than he was
I was thinking the same, how sad all the retired ufc fighters have no choice but to fight here for money.
Is it confirmed they are doing this because they need money and not for, lets say, love of a sport they dedicated their lives to and wanting to continue to compete and/or just making even more money while they are still capable?
Luke is a millionaire. A million dollars is a lot of money and can set up the average person for life without working. Luke most likely has a few million under his name. What people don't understand is that a lot of athletes and celebrities just don't know how to stop spending money and living well beyond their means. Saying that just cos you're a UFC "Star" means that you should be set up for life and putting all the blame on the UFC is as hilarious as Sydney Sweeney complaining about how she has to act more because one acting gig every 6 months isn't enough for her to live her lavish lifestyle living in her 3+ million dollar mansion.
@@Sanji_Vinsmoke_69 This comment hit the nail on the head perfectly 👏👌
Eddie will make this a war, made a career out of winning fights he was not supposed to win, along with getting hurt early and coming back. Cannot wait.
well, he made it a war for a few minutes lmao
Great fight. Mike Perry is a beast. Good on Luke to prioritize his health. Seemed like a nasty tear. Much respect to both fighters. Such warriors.
Rockhold not tough enough for this sport, just a fact. Alvarez vs Perry should be great.
True! Anyone that's seen Rockhold fight in the past 8-10 years is not "Shocked" by the finish.
I've always seen it as the opposite, rockhold being too tough for his body to keep up with. Dude was a stud in his prime, but dominated mostly because of his explosiveness and athleticism. Once his body started to decline, his ego forbade him to change his approach- the guy's a world class grappler ffs- but instead continued with his hands down, cocky approach even with a compromised chin. If you don't think he's tough just look at the Costa fight.
rockhold is one of the toughest fighters there is, so easy to spot casuals when you actually train lol
@@irf2856that roundhouse body kick was so nasty
lol what?
I know there's a ton of hype around Perry VS Alvarez, but why is there no media around Todd Duffee returning?!?! Todd Duffee is a beast. They need to be promoting it more
Mike vs Eddie is top notch! Way to go BKFC!
Brutal. 2 warriors
I keep forgetting to make time to watch the fights live but i dont mind still paying because these are the rawest fights youll see anywhere.
Ahhahaha say it kots
unless you want to watch a bunch of skinheads gouge eachother's eyes out in King of the Streets
No way, I love BKFC but king of the streets is real fighting
@@WhitecapPXQyou rarely see that anymore. They only allow no rules, if both fighters agree to it.
I remember I saw an interview a couple years back where Mike Perry said he had 6 dollars in his bank account, take care of Platinum BKFC, that dude is the face of the company💰
Perry hits hard.
Mike Perry is my spirit animal
Brutal body shoots by Perry! Rockhold wanted no more of that.
The low blow early in the fight wasn’t even low. It was just a solid body shot and Rockhill couldn’t take it.
@@mdc5604 I doubt Luke even noticed that until it occurred to him he could take a break. That landed on the thick of the belt and Groin shots are nowhere near as devastating as some of your more winey fighters make out. They used to be legal in MMA and they were so ineffective that they were hardly ever used.
I'm watching BKFC for the first timei. I have always loved mixed martial arts and Muay Thai.For many years, I trained in Muay Thai. Do you not use your knees or kicks at ALL in BKFC? If so, I can understand Luke Rockhold's defeat. His signature move was a combination of kicks. Mike Perry was excellent at everything. His sport is BKFC, no question
It's boxing without gloves. But because gloves protect your hands, the game is quite different. Your can't fire 100% onto someone's face, because if you hit the head on the wrong spot, your break your knuckles. So you have to go for more body shots and strategically and precisely aim and time your head shots.
@@maxk880no mouth guard neither ? If so how can someone take blows and continue through out the fight?
MPs fighting style is toight 💪
Luke tried to quit the 1st time in the 2nd round but the ref urged him to continue anyway. Amazing that Perry being the smaller man here is chasing and hunting the bigger Luke like a wild wolf. Hope he continues his hot streak tomorrow
Mike Perry is the new king of bareknuckle fights he was not for UFC/MMA type. He is perfect for this type of fight
i think perry will be to much for Eddie. 2nd round
Could very well happen, but dont underestimate the undergroumd king
Only time we’ve really seen Eddie get smoked was against McGregor, I’m a massive Perry fan and even though he has a crazy chin he can still get knocked out by Eddie, especially because he doesn’t move his head much. Perry SHOULD win this, but wouldn’t be surprised to see Eddie get it done.
@markasread4349 that was funny back in 2010. i apologise that my English level isn't up to your expectations but im happy you've made your self feel just that little bit better correcting someone on their English on a fighting channel.
2:11 I think this was the shot that bend lukes teeth back, the beginning of the end Luke tried to fight through it tho, even went into round 2 But he was outgunned, bareknuckle boxing is not suited for him.
Agreed, solid jab
Must've thought "I'll lose third of my purse on dentals if I need to replace this one."
Totally agree, that was as stiff as a jab gets and accurate as well, it had proper intent behind it.
2:11 is the stiff left jab that made his nose bleed. 3:13 is the right cross that busted Luke's mouth and the shot that made Luke quit.
@@bigpyne9361that second shot was harder, but from lukes reaction from the first, having his mouth open and grabbing it i believe it was the first one
Mike THE BULLY.. THE AFRICAN BULLY😂😂😂
Luke Rockhold and "Chin up in the air", name a more iconic duo...
Mike Perry is a real man, only some are actually built for this.
Love how as soon as Mike got stunned he was like ok “now it’s a fight”
The only reason I subscribed to bkfc is because of Mike perry, I remember bkfc1 somehow i saw it and until now I hadn't hit the sub button until Mike perry, definitely deserves to be the face of bkfc
Can’t wait for lukes next interview
The delay of THE body shots
Strictly speaking, Rockhold's hands were always the weakest part of his game, so whoever encouraged him into bare-knuckle sounds like a plant. Probably by Bisping.
cuando la voluntad supera la tecnica
We need more dudes like Mike in this world
Platinum Mike !!
Perry really showing his skill look how he's always got his fists tight and takes the shots on the top of his dome he's just made for this sh*t
Seemed rockhold was really content with standing still . I know it's hard to keep the feet moving through punishment and it seems counterintuitive and I'm no pro fighter , but feel like he should've leaned more on defensive footwork.
Mike Perry is the ultimate underdog. Good for him!
So, the guy getting hit by Mike Perry with bare hands and not going straight to the ground is the one people call a glass chin? The narratives that fans create without understanding what they’re watching are unbelievable.
Did you watch the whole fight? He broke a tooth and quit. Dan Henderson once pulled multiple front teeth out of his mouth guard and kept fighting. It’s not like Rockhold has a glass chin. He’s pretty sturdy, but as a fighter he’s a quitter with a successful day job. He doesn’t think he has to take punishment . Perry on the other hand, took a bomb from Rockhold and kept fighting to eventually make Rockhold quit.
Yeah he did have a glass chin. Perry is significantly smaller here, and he still lose
@@wouldntyouliketoknow1477still gets respect from me for standing in front of Perry, who is terrifying. Luke would starch you on his worst days. Dan Henderson and Perry are some of the toughest men who have ever lived, you can still be tough and not be on that level of mental toughness .
@@Max_Payn3 If someone has a really hard day at work they can’t just leave and go home. The main requirement for an mma fighter is getting punched or kicked in the face. No matter how much it hurts you have to go out there.
Mike just doesn't care to take a punch, in order to get inside and let those body shots go! Yes Luke got his tooth broke, but he stopped fighting because he couldn't handle those relentless body shots. Great work Mike.
Mikes a beast! Shoulda seen an believed than you can achieve Luke
Rockhold landed maybe 5-8 good shots on Mike, but the rest of the time he looked terrified, constantly backing up and running lol. He even faked the cup hit ,it hit right on the belt line if it was even that low. Dude should retire.
Honestly, Luke actually did a lot better than I had thought he would when this fight was announced.
How long was that 9 seconds at the end of the first round?
Wow! I didn't think I'd see Rockhold straight up quit!
Rockhold was like “oh nah, I don’t want anything to do with this” after that right hand 🤣
I remember when Perry and Connor faced off the bkfc prez was ab to Cuuuum lol 🤣
Luke rocked him in the first, and Mike just kept coming. That kind of thing will demotivate anyone. Well done Platinum!
You've clearly never thought much.....he's a professional fighter....all professional fighters rock people that keep coming, and sometimes still lose...it's hardly new to them idiot, they all will just go until they can't.
Luke should be in a marvel movie as a marvel character 💯 just because he looks like a super hero. Looks like his tooth was knocked out in this fight. Damn.
I hella want to go to one of these events if there’s ever any in Seattle
Rockhold looked to be a contender, right up to the moment the bell rang. Way to go, Mike!
That's the video image definition of "breaking someone"
You can tell Luke doesn't like getting punched

@markasread4349 Mike Perry.
@marc8vino Yes, Mike Perry likes it so much he actively avoids it. Please go back to playing video games.
@@josedanielherrera7115 I've been Wrestling and boxing since I was 5 years old. I've been in Martial arts of many styles since I was 10. I still do MMA and jiu jitsu to this day. I'm 53 years old. I don't play games. I watch many styles of fighting. Mike Perry gets fired up and he enjoys the battle. That includes getting hit. You are not a fighter nor have ever been so you don't understand.
@marc8vino There's no way to verify if what you're saying is true nor does it matter. He's actively slipping and dodging "hits." If he truly liked it, he wouldn't. Can you not understand logic?
These dudes are nuts!
A shame to see old fighters retire to this paddock
Sad to see ufc greats have to continue to get their faces bashed in to pay bills!
These guys get to keep making money doing what they love, the fans love it, and only people like you crying😅

Mike perry: Technique 0/10 Attack 1/10 Defense 0/10 Health - 3 million Pressure 10/10
Was the blow low?
Rockhold has been like these for his last few fights. He doesn't want it anymore. But he keeps trying.
Mike is made for this In your face pressure ready to get u out there at all times
Good fight!!!
Perrry funniest 5:20 man alive. I reallly hope he will get the money bag soon, he deserves it
Mike perry is something else
the most crazy sport in the world.... damn this is the best finishing crazy fight, arrggghhhh
mike perry is one of the best strikers when it comes to fists.. I saw it when he punched some dork who was way taller than him.. I dont know how he could close that gap easily and hit that man who was towering over him.. dang
Left uppcut was all Luke needed and bro never threw it smh. Mike is a savage
Respect to Rockhold! Takes a lot of guts to step int the bare knuckle ring.
“Gloves Take the Sting out of a Punch”- Lenny McLean . . . Getting hit with an extremely hard and conditioned first is going to make anyone think twice about what they’ve gotten themselves into haha except for Mike Perry, dudes just a Beast man
1:23 Rockhold forgetting this wasnt mma for a second 😂
Gotta give props to Rockhold too being almost in his 40s while Perry in his early 30s
It’s just a game to win. They are bros even though their career, which they love is to throw down but there has to be a winner
Wow, those bodyshots 😮 They ended him
I'm almost certain mike does line of coke and a couple shots of tequila and maybe some TRT right before walk out. Look at 4:53 and watch his eyes for that clip, straight up looks hammered lmao. And the fact that he's had issues with alcohol in the past and even the UFC took action over his alcohol abuse really says it all. Watch all his fights. I'm confident dude is tipsy when he comes out lmfao
He’s prolly punch drunk. He did get wobbled in the first round
na, hes just a psychopath. normal people need drugs to look like that yes.
@@italianmiltyfriedman6264 Idk didn't you see the video from just last year of him knocking the dude out after he got kicked out of the bar for being too drunk lmao. As someone who use to be an alcoholic that staggered look in his eyes says a lot to me lmao. None of these dudes are tested for literally anything they're all juiced to the fucking moon and doing whatever tf they want.
Mike Perry IS BKFC!👊💥 damn is he an animal in there.
I knocked Mike clean out on the cobbles last week
Imagine picking a fight with Platinum Mike Perry ☠️
Eddie is a great fighter. He is going to take anyone deep. If ya don't know, ya gonna find out. Mike is going to get beat up quite a bit. I can't wait to see the fight
Mike Perry: " yeah Luke is a great athlete he's a warrior and he came to congratulate me but I told him I don't talk to Loosers"
Perry is a beast
Mike Perry is one of those guys that could have boxed 130 years ago when they went 30 rounds.
