Professional mixed martial artist, Mike Perry started his professional career as part of the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC).

He made his UFC debut on short notice against Lim Hyun-Gyu on August 20, 2016, at UFC 202 after Sultan Aliev pulled out because of an injury. He also fought Danny Roberts and Alan Jouban that same year.

Perry lost his fight to Daniel Rodriguez on April 10, 2021, via unanimous decision. He also began Bare Knuckle Fighting on October 26, 2021, after his UFC contract expired.

He signed with the Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship (BKFC) in February 2022. On Saturday, April 29, 2023, he fought his last match as a BKFC fighter.

“I’m up in the air because that was my last fight on contract. I’m free from everybody, but I love bare-knuckle boxing. I love David Feldman and the bare-knuckle crew, and the team and the fans, and everybody that’s been showing so much support. They love this bloody stuff, too,” he said.
