The UFC parted ways with the former welterweight competitor after a
decision loss against Randy Brown
in October 2022. “Massaranduba” racked up a 18-8 promotional record
over the course of a decade with wins over the likes of Paul Felder,
Jim
Miller and Bobby
Green.
Trinaldo is now looking to dip his foot into bare knuckle boxing
and wants to make his debut against Mike Perry,
who is arguably one of the biggest draws in the sport today. Perry
has made quite a name for himself in recent times under the the
Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship (BKFC) banner with wins over the
likes of Luke
Rockhold and Michael
Page.
Trinaldo claims he wanted to fight Perry during their UFC days but
“Platinum” was always handpicking his opponents.
“I can’t want to beat up this a—hole. I’m sure I can go to BKFC and
put a beating on him,” Trinaldo recently told
MMAFighting.com . “He keeps saying there’s no man out there to
fight him, yet here I am. I can’t wait, man. I think that’s a good
fight. It would be a bloody fight. I won’t make things easy for
him. I was born for this. His boxing is good, but I know mine is
better.
“BKFC will pay me good money, because people want to see me in
there after my career in the UFC,” Trinaldo added. “I’ve had a lot
of fights in the UFC, and now I want to fight at BKFC. And I’m
coming for Mike Perry.”
