Mike Perry vs Luke Rockhold Prediction: Drenched in Blood

On the night of April 30, a huge bare-knuckle tournament BKFC 41, will occur in the United States. The main event will feature two former UFC big stars, Luke Rockhold and Mike Perry.

Mike Perry has spent the last five years successfully breaking the faces of his opponents in the UFC and the fans' hearts. Mike almost always won by knockouts, and his last MMA fight was in 2021, ending his performances with two losses. But he did not sit idle for long; he signed with BKFC, fought two bare-knuckle bouts, and won both.

In the first fight, Mike defeated Julian Lane, who was then beaten twice in Russia. The judges gave him a majority win against Michael Page in his previous fight.

Former UFC champion Luke Rockhold is best at spectacular knockouts. But he's probably tired of doing it in MMA, so he decided to make the fight even more entertaining by switching to bare fists. Rockhold will soon be forty years old, there are big questions about his tonus, and five rounds (even two minutes each) on bare fists is too much for him.

The bookies see Mike Perry as the favorite, and that makes sense. He has experience in this category; he's younger, faster, and tougher. But there's a more attractive bet. It's going to be a short bout, none of them are the right people, and none of them will invent genius tactics. The fight will end early and probably even in the first half.
