Dana White has reacted after news broke that former UFC welterweight Mike Perry has inked a multi-fight deal with BKFC.<\/p>\n

‘Platinum’ (14-8 MMA) fought out his UFC contract back in April, suffering a unanimous decision loss to Daniel Rodriguez. The setback marked Perry’s second in a row, and fourth in his past five fights overall.<\/p>\n

After taking a few months to weigh his options, MMAFighting<\/a> announced on Tuesday that Mike Perry had signed a multi-fight deal<\/a> with BKFC (Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship). The financial details of Perry’s new contract were not released by the promotion<\/a>.<\/p>\n

UFC President Dana White was asked to comment on Mike Perry signing with BKFC during last night’s Contender Series post-fight presser. White revealed that ‘Platinum’ was not released by the Ultimate Fighting Championship, but instead fought out his existing contract and then signed a deal with the BKFC.<\/p>\n

\u201cHis contract had expired (with the UFC). Mike Perry is a fun fighter, I mean he\u2019s had so many fun fights here.\u201d<\/em> White said. \u201cI wish him the best.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Perry went 7-8 during his five-year stretch fighting for Dana White and the UFC. During that time the fan-favorite welterweight earned knockout victories over Hyun Gyu Lim, Danny Roberts, Jake Ellenberger and Alex Reyes.<\/p>\n

\"Mike<\/p>\n

‘Platinum’ is clearly looking forward to getting his feet wet in the sport of Bare Knuckle boxing.<\/p>\n

\u201cLet\u2019s skip all the formalities! This sport is evolving and I am here to strike fear into the hearts of my competitors!\u201d<\/em> Mike Perry said in a press release. \u201cI plan to intimidate the world when I show what a truly skilled combat specialist is capable of with his bare hands. I will dismantle the opposition and reach the glory I have longed for my entire life.” <\/em><\/p>\n
