FORMER UFC star Mike Perry made secured a bloody victory in his second Bare Knuckle fight.
The 30-year-old secured a 48-46 points win against Julian Lane at the Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship: Knucklemania 2 at the weekend.
Perry knocked down Lane in the first round, but his opponent came back into the scrap well and took it to the scorecards.
At one point heavily-tattooed Perry was seen spitting blood out of his mouth during the brutal battle.
The Florida fighter left UFC in 2021. He made a winning bare-knuckle debut later that year when he beat Michael Seals at Triller Triad.
His triumph against Lane was his first fight with the BKFC organisation.
And it was all the sweeter for Perry against a fierce rival.
The two former MMA fighters were involved in a viral brawl last December.

The pair clashed after Lane threw an object while Perry was in the commentary booth.
Perry shocked fans when he brought a BASEBALL BAT with him to the pre-fight press conference.
Speaking about the incident, Perry told MMA Hour: “I’m gonna have my own bat, I don’t know how security gonna be.
“I don’t know how quick they gonna be… I’m protecting myself, I gotta take care of me and the people around me.
“Outside of the ring, it ain’t fair. We ain’t fighting fair. I had a plastic wiffle ball bat, if that’s really an upper hand, you’ll be alright. You was gonna get a little smack to the face no problem.
“Nobody knew I had it on me. It was funny to me, thinking about it like that.
“Nobody knew I had this bat boy, I’ll pull it out and get three feet of reach on your ass real quick!”
