Perry is scheduled to fight fellow UFC alum Nate Diaz on Most Valuable Promotions' first MMA card on May 16 at the Intuit Dome in Los Angeles, California. The event, which will be broadcast on Netflix, also features fights like Ronda Rousey vs. Gina Carano and Francis Ngannou vs. Philipe Lins.
Since then, the "BMF" title has been one of the UFC's savviest marketing plays, reserved for the promotion's most ferocious, exciting fighters: Diaz, Masvidal, Justin Gaethje, Dustin Poirier, Holloway and Oliveira. The UFC stands as the BMF's official record keeper, but the true origin story belongs to Diaz. It's a story that began in Stockton, California, where every Diaz story starts.
