Overview
- Perry’s manager Malki Kawa confirmed late Friday that the 35-year-old has re-signed with the UFC, ending speculation about his next promotional home.
- The UFC’s anti‑doping test history shows Perry listed in the testing pool with one test recorded, a formal step required for fighters before competing for the promotion.
- The UFC and Perry’s camp have not disclosed an opponent, a return date, the number of fights in the contract, weight class, or financial terms.
- Perry is publicly recovering from a shoulder dislocation that led to a first-round TKO loss in August after he returned to MMA with a high‑profile May win over Nate Diaz.
- Perry’s unbeaten run and ‘King of Violence’ profile in bare‑knuckle boxing and a lucrative crossover boxing match boosted his market value, which media link to unconfirmed talks about a February 2027 matchup with Jorge Masvidal in Orlando.
