Mike Perry now has a belt to call himself the “King of Violence” after defeating former UFC champion Eddie Alvarez in Saturday’s BKFC 56 main event.

After a strong build up to their bare knuckle boxing clash, Perry once again showed this world of combat is best suited for him. He busted up Alvarez’s eye to the point of a corner stoppage TKO to close the 175-pound contest, which took place at Maverik Center in Salt Lake City, and left with the “King of Violence” championship.

The fight community praised Perry for his efforts, and you can see the top social media reactions to his win over Alvarez below.
