Diaz vs. Perry Set for 'True BMF' Clash on Historic Netflix MMA Card

INGLEWOOD, Calif. — If you’re looking for violence, attitude, and zero apologies, this one might be can’t-miss. Nate Diaz vs. Mike Perry is officially set as the co-main event of a groundbreaking MMA card streaming live on Netflix May 16 from the Intuit Dome. And both fighters are embracing exactly what it represents.

Diaz, the original face of the BMF attitude, summed up the mindset simply: “Baddest motherfckers do whatever the fck they want.” That philosophy defines this matchup two of MMA’s most unpredictable and aggressive personalities colliding in what many are calling the real BMF fight.

A Long-Awaited MMA Return

Neither man has stepped inside an MMA cage in years.

• Diaz (21-13) last fought in 2022, submitting Tony Ferguson at UFC 279
• Perry (14-8) hasn’t fought MMA since 2021, a loss to Daniel Rodriguez

Diaz transitioned into boxing, facing Jake Paul before avenging his BMF loss with a win over Jorge Masvidal in 2024. Perry, meanwhile, became one of the biggest stars in Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship.

He’s gone 6-0 in BKFC, beating names like:

• Luke Rockhold
• Eddie Alvarez
• Thiago Alves

And capturing the King of Violence title along the way.
