Former UFC and bare-knuckle fighter Mike Perry brought his hybrid combat sport "Dirty Boxing" back to Miami on Friday night, featuring local fighters in the ring and the crowning of a new champion.

Dirty Boxing is a mix of MMA and boxing.

Perry is part owner of Dirty Boxing and a prominent part of the roster.

"We just had ideas and dreams to create something more impactful, more exciting and take out any stalemates that might happen in a combat sport. Now, dirty boxing is the new homegrown, hometown team to root for," he said.

Perry said Florida, particularly Miami, is a perfect fit for the sport.

"Miami has a lot of beauty. You know there are a few states in the country that are in their own lane and Florida is definitely one of them," he said.
