Overview
- Brandon Jenkins accepted a fight on roughly 48 hours' notice and won by first-round TKO when Mike Perry dislocated his shoulder early in the Duel Arena 1 main event on Saturday.
- Jenkins posted video evidence and said a clean elbow likely caused the dislocation, and he has called for a rematch at 170 pounds or higher-profile opponents such as Nate Diaz.
- Dillon Danis withdrew about 48 hours before the card citing an arm injury and later posted 'Bum fight' on X, a reaction that drew swift public criticism and renewed questions about his reliability.
- Reports say Perry’s guaranteed pay was reduced after the late opponent change, and his uncertain recovery now clouds planned matchups including a potential BKFC bout with Darren Till.
- Duel Arena’s inaugural card featured other controversies and the episode highlights how short-notice catchweight fights can create medical, contractual and matchmaking complications that alter fighters’ careers.
