Eddie Alvarez is lowkey one of the most accomplished lightweights in MMA history, not UFC. MMA. And doing a BKFC with Juiced to the gills Mendez and Perry says ALOT. A lot of MMA Goats wouldn't even consider fightiing Bareknuckle with someone like Perry. Conor ain't gonna do it, Khabib ain't gonna do it. Few fighters are really about that.

[@ohnohedidnt4444]

One of the last true fighters remaining! Legend of Mma. And no one can take that from him!

[@awaister]

@YearsOVDecay1 Literally no one was talking about Khabib or his crew you must be a braindead Connie fan still salty your boy got smashed

[@jayrowe6473]

"lowkey"= you're a goof.

[@hbrandon947]

Why the fuck would khabib lmao his boxing is ass man, he knows he would lose. And McGregor could honestly potentially shut his lights out, but that would still be a good match if connor didn't gas out

[@exionpt6367]

Mike is a gem, huge respect... its so fun to watch both guys are so classy and such great fighters.

[@dillanversai6717]

Mike Perry is a monster...He is younger, bigger, and has been strictly fighting bare knuckle...but Alvarez has been fighting his whole life, and like 20 years as a professional...He is calm, collected, composed, and shows ZERO fear or worry... I like both, but am pulling for Eddie here. He is a legend!

[@julianjhingree441]

Eddie's already 39, but went toe to toe with juiced up Chad. Mike may look older but still at 32, that alone is a significant factor

[@user-nv2wt4hi8t]

The single thing I wonder is Perry's size. Bro was fighting at middleweight and is a physical freak when he fights. Alvarez has historically been a lightweight and, at most, welterweight. Should be good, either way.

[@paulwonderley538]

Eddie is a warrior but Mike is savage this is his game if Eddie doesn't knock him out it's game over for Eddie. And the age and size factor will play a part also in mike favour

[@jezebulls]

Yea Mike wasn’t able to get too far in the UFC, but this BKFC, it’s like Mike was made for this.

[@zosmanovic9763]

YOYO Eddie!!

[@mikemacdude]

Eddie may not be on Trt but he sure AF is on something. 167lbs of muscle at age 39 when he competed at 155.? What am I missing? Maybe it is possible. I'm very sceptical. Lol

[@Last_Chance.]

He's.not on anything. I used to fight at 170 now I'm 228 pounds. I used to stay at a caloric deficit most of the time to stay lean enough to make weight. Once I retire from competing and starting coaching I started eating normal and my weight shot up. Plus age is a factor

[@eastwood111]

You know nothing about body composition. Eddie is not taking anything. Coming from someone with 20 years of anabolic experience.

[@saljewsteinbergowitz]

No Eddie's on nothing. His T levels are brutal actually. And he's definitely not on epo or hgh. He's just a beast naturally

[@zeusricochant7357]

Surely Eddie will win

[@jasonmarlowe6817]

Mike Perry is a weird dude but when it comes to bare knuckle boxing, it works well for him. I know this is after the fact talk, but he did exactly what he said he'd do. He made Eddie quit, the same as he made Luke Rockhold quit. Dude walked into everything Eddie had to offer in round 1, ate it, then smashed Eddie's face so bad his coaches made him quit. Last 3 guys Mike has beat, MVP, Luke and Eddie. Mike Perry found his nitch, dude is a beast when you strip all the grappling and gloves away. Even Masvidal, the OG bare knuckle dude from the backyard Kimbo days, won't want that smoke. I'm really curious who the hell is going to want to fight him next.

[@tuff2tell]

UGK‼️

[@brambigdeli5021]

As much as I appreciate Mike’s heart and grit If you actually watch the Luke Rockhold fight over again, Luke tags him and almost drop some mic is better in the clinch or in up close ! But putting shots but from distance, or with Skill or Precision hell na and another big difference is Eddie is a calm cool collected battle tested best of the best slightly different time period where is Mike is the opposite flashy, talks a lot of shit backs a lot of it up and I have noticed he’s talked less and less off the side of his neck than he used to most of what he used to say was just a bunch of like random bullshit gibberish that made zero sense at all. Either way it’s gonna be a banger definitely Rooting for Eddie

[@jeffreynapisa122]

That was pretty interesting about the steroid testing, and I wonder if bksc has rules on steroid or b e d usage, because you don't hear a lot about their drug testing in their league.

[@saljewsteinbergowitz]

They don't drug test in BKFC. Some guys request it, that's about it. I think most of the guys are on something in the promotion. But tbh, you have to be if you want to avoid serious issues/damage. I don't blame them. Eddie's test levels are abysmal and something needs to be done about that. He may need to get on some trt or else his energy levels are going to go down the toilet very soon.

[@aphysique]

I got *Perry* ...Who ya got, n why?

[@fightmilk209]

Perry struggled to beat MVP who's not a boxer, struggled with Lanes, and got a freebie against Rockhold. Eddie's been a champion in every fight promotion he's been in and his boxing is top tier. I think he'll be too fast and slick for Perry.
