‘Platinum’ Got Paid! (KnuckleMania 4 Salaries Revealed)

Mike Perry got PAID!

Perry scored a super quick win last night at KnuckleMania 4 (Sat., April 27, 2024) when he knocked out Thiago Alves in 60 seconds with a left hook from inside Peacock Theater in Los Angeles, Calif. (watch highlights).

On Saturday afternoon, MMAJunkie obtained a list of disclosed payouts from California State Athletic Commission executive director Andy Foster.
