Mike Perry is already name hunting for opponents for 2025.

The former UFC fighter and BKFC’s “King of Violence” champion took matchmaking into his own hands and called out former UFC welterweight champion Robbie Lawler to a bareknuckle boxing fight. Perry did so by hopping in the ring, getting on the microphone, and calling out Lawler, who was sitting ringside at Saturday’s Bareknuckle Hollywood event in South Florida.

“Who should face me next? I see Robbie Lawler in the crowd and I think he should take the gloves off, and he should step inside the square circle against ‘Platinum’ Mike Perry,” Perry said.

Lawler, 42, retired from fighting in July 2023 after stopping Niko Price at UFC 290. “Ruthless” is one of the more established names at 170 pounds of the last decade. He held the UFC welterweight title from 2014 to 2016. Lawler has defeated many notable names in MMA, including Nick Diaz, Carlos Condit, Rory MacDonald, Donald Cerrone and Josh Koscheck.

Perry, 33, has risen in fame since his UFC departure in 2021. He’s undefeated as a bareknuckle boxer under BKFC, with a record of 5-0. In his most recent outing, back in July, Perry suffered a TKO defeat to YouTuber turned fighter Jake Paul in the boxing ring.
