and Eddie
Alvarez apparently had some unfinished business to settle
outside of the ring.
In a video that surfaced on Tuesday, Perry appears to be involved
in a verbal dispute with people in the crowd — with Alvarez
standing nearby — at BKFC Knucklemania 6 at the Xfinity Mobile
Arena in Philadelphia. Eventually, that interaction turned into a
full-blown melee, and footage seems to show Perry being punched and
kicked by multiple people in the audience after he fell to the
floor.
Eventually, security was able to intervene and separate both sides.
Meanwhile, Perry reacted to the incident on social media.
“They welcomed me to Philly as one of their own, and that floor was
slippery as heck and his wife fell on her face, and I laughed at
her,” Perry wrote. “ Looks like I was just down underneath
everybody slipping for the first minute. Told y’all, eventful.”

‘Deserved and Asked For’
On Tuesday, Alvarez issued his own response, implying that there
was more than meets the eye to the entire situation.
“There’s way more to this story than you all know,” Alvarez wrote
on Instagram Stories. “This was my wife, kids and family fighting
here with me. You all know the person I am and I’m not sorry for
this. It was deserved and asked for.
“Ask Mike and he will agree. I’m glad Mike’s OK and nobody got
hurt. You can’t f—k with someone’s family and expect s—t to be
cordial. If you knew the story, you would understand.”
Perry and Alvarez squared off at BKFC 56 in December 2023, with
Perry winning via corner stoppage in the second round. Perry is
regarded as the top star in BKFC today, and promotion head David
Feldman recently indicated that a big-name opponent would be next
for the UFC veteran.
