Mike Perry dismisses Jerry Gaethje's BMF title ahead of BKFC 56

Mike Perry has stated that he doesn't care about the UFC's BMF title and has shrugged off Justin Gaethje as the current title holder. 'The Highlight' picked up the belt earlier this year courtesy of his stunning headkick KO win over Dustin Poirier.

Perry will face Eddie Alvarez in the main-event of BKFC 56 for the inaugural 'King of Violence' belt.

Speaking to Sportskeeda MMA, Perry dismissed the BMF title and stated that the only person he regards as it's champion is Jorge Masvidal. He said:

"It's the biggest bare-knuckle event... It's nice to have a belt. The 'King of Violence' belt sounds like such a cool belt. I'm a GMF. I'm a 'Good Motherf***er'. I don't care for the BMF belt. Besides, my BMF title champion would be Jorge 'Gamebred' Masvidal. So, Eddie Alvarez can go back down to lightweight if he doesn't retire after I knock him out."
