Tonight, in the co-main event on Netflix, Mike Perry showed why he is the reigning BKFC ‘King of Violence’ titleholder, as he battered Nate Diaz with strikes all the way to a corner stoppage at the end of the second round.
Despite absorbing many powerful punches from Perry and showing signs of fatigue, Diaz never stopped throwing back in an effort to remain in the fight. But near the end of the second round Diaz dropped to the canvas following a knee from ‘Platinum’ and appeared to be saved by the bell.

It was clear that things weren’t going to turn around for Diaz in the third round, and even Diaz himself acknowledged his agreement with the decision in his interview following the match.
During Perry’s post-fight interview, he took his time on the mic to try to line up his next fight in MMA, a match with Jake Paul. The pair met once already in the boxing ring back in 2024, with Jake Paul walking away the victor by TKO. Perry kept things respectful and professional as he called out his former opponent, who seemed to at least verbally agree to an eventual matchup.
Although Diaz has received many calls for his retirement following the brutal loss, he is instead calling for a rematch vs Perry which is reportedly is already in the works.
“The show goes on. ASAP. Heal up and I’ll started running on Monday. Rematch ASAP. Sacramento, Calif. NorCal. As soon as possible,” Diaz stated
