Mike Perry and Dillon Danis are going to finally battle it out in a mixed martial arts bout.<\/p>\n
Multiple people with knowledge of the promotion\u2019s plans \u2014 including a promotional official \u2014 confirmed that Perry and Danis are set for a welterweight contest on Aug. 29 in Orlando. DuelBet is hosting their first combat sports event, with the promotion being called Duel Arena.<\/p>\n
Duel Arena 1 is set to take place at Kia Center, and will be a \u201chybrid card featuring MMA, boxing and kickboxing,\u201d promoter Dean Toole told MMA Fighting on Friday. The bouts will take place in a ring, not a cage, including the Perry vs. Danis contest.<\/p>\n
Toole says that the card will include \u201csome influencer bouts as well, and a few [other] UFC vets\u201d to be announced soon.<\/p>\n
Perry competes in his second consecutive MMA bout. After a successful and unbeaten stretch in BKFC following his departure from the UFC, \u201cPlatinum\u201d returned to mixed martial arts competition at May\u2019s Rousey vs. Carano event on Netflx, where he stopped Nate Diaz via second-round corner stoppage TKO.<\/p>\n
Danis competes in MMA for the second time in almost exactly one year. In his most recent MMA contest, Danis submitted Warren Spencer at Misfits 22 in August 2025 in 15 seconds. Since then, Danis competed for Real American Freestyle, losing via tech fall to Colby Covington at RAF 7 in March, and via pinfall to Khamzat Chimaev at RAF 10 in June \u2014 which led to an all-out brawl<\/a>.<\/p>\n Broadcast details are expected to be announced next week.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Mike Perry and Dillon Danis are going to finally battle it out in a mixed martial arts bout.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":821932,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[571],"tags":[64,63,802,1347,85],"class_list":["post-821931","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-boxing","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-boxing","tag-latest-news","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/821931","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=821931"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/821931\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/821932"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=821931"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=821931"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=821931"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
