Perry Stopped In First Round By Jenkins At Duel Arena 1
Mike Perry lost his Duel Arena 1 main event against Brandon Jenkins via first-round TKO at 2:38 on Saturday night in Orlando, as MMA Fighting and MMA Mania reported. Jenkins accepted the bout on short notice after Dillon Danis withdrew with an arm injury.
The BKFC standout Perry dropped his second MMA fight of the year after beating Nate Diaz in May at the inaugural MVP MMA event. Jenkins, who defeated Chris Avila via split decision on that same card, pulled off one of the year's biggest upsets against the self-proclaimed King of Violence.
