Here’s one we didn’t have on our 2022 MMA Bingo card: Mike Perry almost starting an all-out brawl on Russian TV.

And yet, here we are with the former UFC and current Bare Knuckle FC fighter doing just that Tuesday.

Perry, according to The Mac Life, currently is in Russia with his friend and training partner, Alex Nicholson, who has an upcoming fight against Vagab Vagabov.

That somehow turned into Perry making an appearance on Russian TV with several other fighters.

And that Russian TV appearance, for reasons unknown, somehow turned into Perry engaging in a faceoff with Russian fighter Magomed Ismailov, even though the two men aren’t scheduled to fight each other.

Someone thought bringing Perry and Ismailov face to face was a good idea. And, well, you can see how all hell almost broke loose in the videos below.

Mike Perry is known by many as a fighter rarely strays too far from controversy.

‘Platinum’, who has recently moved to the world of bare-knuckle boxing from mixed martial arts (for the time being anyway), is enjoying a career resurgence in his new home at BKFC.

Having bested both Julian Lane and Michael ‘Venom’ Page in his two outings for the promotion thus far.

Perry is currently in Russia where he travelled with his friend and training partner Alex Nicholson who is slated to fight Vagab Vagabov and, for reasons known only to the promoter.

Appears to have been placed in a face-off with Russian MMA fighter Magomed Ismailov who is set to face Serbia’s Aleksandar Ilic in an upcoming boxing match.

Perry, though, appears to be keeping his options open for future bouts and came close to throwing down with Ismailov after the Russian threw a looping slap after some back-and-forth badmouthing.
