BKFC 56 ceremonial faceoff video: Mike Perry, Eddie Alvarez itch for violence

Watch as BKFC 56 headliners Mike Perry and Eddie Alvarez come face-to-face one final time ahead of Saturday’s gloveless clash.

BKFC 56 takes place Saturday at Maverik Arena in West Valley City, Utah with a main event that is likely to attract a high number of eyeballs because of the violence potential.

Fan-favorites [autotag]Mike Perry[/autotag] and [autotag]Eddie Alvarez[/autotag] will throw down (without gloves) to determine who is “The King of Violence.” Friday, the two combatants got one final look at one another at ceremonial weigh-ins ahead of Saturday’s card.

There was plenty of mouthing off between the two intense violence creators, but things did not get physical. A level of respect shined through the verbal jabs, as both fighters radiated energy and excitement.

While both fighters have found success in bareknuckle boxing post-MMA, Perry’s longevity has established him as one of the best pound-for-pound fighters in the newly-sanctioned combat sport. On the flip side, Alvarez made his bareknuckle debut in April when he defeated Chad Mendes by split decision.

Eddie Alvarez ahead of BKFC 56: Mike Perry ‘too slow, I’m going to hit him too much’

Eddie Alvarez expects his speed to be a problem for Mike Perry in the BKFC 56 headliner Saturday.

[autotag]Eddie Alvarez[/autotag] expects his speed to be a problem for [autotag]Mike Perry[/autotag].

Alvarez meets Perry in the main event of BKFC 56 on Dec. 2 in Salt Lake City.

Perry has found success in the BKFC ring, going 3-0 with wins over Julian Lane, Michael Page, and most recently a second-round TKO of ex-UFC champ Luke Rockhold this past April. Alvarez thinks Perry’s toughness got him by in those fights, but says that’s an attribute he won’t outmatch him in.

“Mike’s tough as hell,” Alvarez told Middle Easy. “A lot of people say, ‘Mike don’t move his head … Mike don’t do this.’ He makes up for a lot of the lack of his stuff with his toughness, his grit, his will – that kind of stuff.

“He cleans it up with that. But when you’re going against another fighter like myself, who has all that, and all of them boxes are checked, then you’re going to have to rely on your skill and your game plan, and something more than just grit and will to get you by.”

One the same night Perry beat Rockhold, former Bellator and UFC lightweight champion Alvarez won a split decision over Chad Mendes in his bare-knuckle debut.

Alvarez plans on putting a beating on Perry until the referee waives the fight off.

“He’s too slow, I’m going to hit him too much,” Alvarez said. “I respect Mike Perry and what he does and his resilience, (but) I’m going to hit him too much, too often, too hard. If he don’t stop fighting, I think the ref’s going to stop him from fighting.”
