EX-UFC champion Eddie Alvarez was left with horror facial injuries after brutal bare-knuckle boxing defeat to Mike Perry. <\/p>\n
The pair of former MMA stars headlined a Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship event in Salt Lake City, Utah.<\/p>\n
\n<\/p>\n
And the two put on a hellacious show for two rounds until Alvarez's corner pulled him out of the bout. <\/p>\n
The American's left eye was so badly swollen he could not continue any longer. <\/p>\n
Alvarez, 39, showed off the extent of his battle scars in the post-fight press conference, sporting a severely swollen and bruised face. <\/p>\n
Perry, 32, was also marked up as he celebrated his vicious victory. <\/p>\n
He roared: \u201cI like to get hit a little bit sometimes. I like that s***. It makes me feel alive. <\/p>\n "I work on the head movement but the last one ended so easily, I just wanted to have a battle so I let him get some shots off. I had a great time.<\/p>\n \u201cEddie Alvarez is a hell of a competitor. Who owns combat sports now? The king of violence! \u2018Platinum\u2019 Mike Perry!\u201d<\/p>\n Perry, who left the UFC in 2021 after four losses in five fights, is now unbeaten in his four BKFC bouts. <\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n CASINO SPECIAL – BEST CASINO WELCOME OFFER<\/strong><\/p>\n And he called out Conor McGregor, 35, and Darren Till, 30, after extending his record to 4-0 with exposed fists. <\/p>\n Perry said: \u201cConor McGregor would be a great matchup. <\/p>\n "I just beat somebody he fought for a world title. Who\u2019s bigger than that? There\u2019s no one bigger than Conor McGregor except me.<\/p>\n \u201cThese boxers don\u2019t want to take the gloves off.
