Mike Perry Claims Misfits Offered April MMA Fight with Dillon Danis

Sports news » Mike Perry Claims Misfits Offered April MMA Fight with Dillon Danis

Mike Perry has indicated that he might have an MMA fight scheduled, potentially occurring in the coming weeks.

“KSI is out, and Dillon Danis is interested in an MMA fight,” Perry mentioned on The Ariel Helwani Show. “I’ve agreed, but we need to see what Mams [Taylor] and Misfits decide.”

“They are making changes because Danis was originally set to box KSI. It seems the date might have shifted slightly, but it shouldn`t be too far off. I`ve accepted fighting Dillon Danis in MMA, but they need to present a proper offer.”

Perry`s last fight was a boxing defeat to Jake Paul in July. His last BKFC appearance was almost a year ago when he defeated Thiago Alves in 60 seconds at KnuckleMania 4.

Dillon Danis was supposed to box KSI at Misfits Boxing 21, but KSI withdrew due to illness, leading to the postponement of the event. Danis is also scheduled to compete against Tony Ferguson under the GFL banner on May 29 in Los Angeles, as announced recently.

“Perhaps Danis doesn`t want to risk his fight with Ferguson, and it depends if BKFC is willing to take any risks,” Perry speculated. “Danis will likely try to grab my legs, and I’ll aim to soccer kick him in the face. It would take place in April.”

“I’ll just defend the takedowns. He’ll have to pull guard, and I’m prepared for ground and pound as well. Let’s make it happen.”
