Mike Perry News

bjpenndotcom - December 29, 2016

UFC welterweight Mike Perry made quite the impact on the UFC’s welterweight division in 2016. Entering into the promotion a perfect 7-0 in his professional career, with all of his wins being KO/TKO wins. When Perry stepped into the Octagon against Hyun Gyu Lim at UFC 202 in August, it took him just over three minutes to pick up a TKO win over the UFC vet, and secure himself his first UFC win. Perry continued to make waves in the division through the media through training camp leading up to his next fight, a UFC 204 scrap with Danny Roberts. Perry won that fight too, picking up a late third round KO win over Roberts, and advancing to 2-0 in the UFC.

One of the most anticipated features of Saturday’s UFC on Fox 22 lineup was a welterweight showdown between scrappy fan favorites Mike Perry and Alan Jouban. Given the pair’s proven propensity for violence, the possibility of a knockout in this fight seemed high. Unfortunately, we didn’t get a knockout. In fact, we didn’t even get an especially competitive fight. Instead, Jouban soundly out-struck Perry for three rounds, battering him with a diversified Muay Thai attack and staying out of the way of his crippling power punches. The end result, then, was a clear-cut decision win for Jouban.

While undefeated welterweight prospect Mike Perry is just 2-0 inside the UFC, ‘Platinum’ has made quite the name for himself in his brief time with the promotion.

In his UFC debut earlier this year, Perry picked up an impressive first round TKO win over Hyun Gyu Lim, drawing the attention of fight fans. In his second fight in the UFC, Perry picked up a third round KO win over Danny Roberts at UFC 204, drawing him even more attention from fight fans.

Yesterday, as anybody whose stomach is still full of turkey knows, was thanksgiving in the United States of America. Over the course of this November Holiday, many of the UFC’s top fighters – including several current champions – took to Twitter to explain what they’re thankful for. Fighters like UFC strawweight champ Joanna Jedrzejczyk, lightweight veteran Joe Lauzon, and welterweight contender Kamaru Usman said they were thankful for their family, friends and fans.

‘Platinum’ Mike Perry has quickly become one of the most popular fighters in the UFC’s welterweight division. While Perry has only fought in the Octagon twice, it’s not uncommon to see MMA fans on social media discussing Perry, as well as his upcoming fight with Alan Jouban, where Perry hopes to make it 3-straight wins in the Octagon. In his UFC debut, Perry stirred quite a bit of controversy when he faked a handshake Hyun Gyu Lim’s hand at weigh-ins. When Lim extended his hand to shake Perry’s, ‘Platinum’ was quick to pull his hand back and yell “Sike! You thought!” Despite that, Perry went out and left fight fans stunned as he picked up an impressive 1st round KO win.

‘Platinum’ Mike Perry has been making waves over the past several months. Prior to his UFC debut, a welterweight scrap with Hyun Gyu Lim at UFC 202, Perry made headlines for his weigh-in antics, high-fiving ring girls as he walked on stage, before then faking Lim out with a handshake.

Despite having fought just twice inside the Octagon, “Platinum” Mike Perry is quickly emerging as one of the welterweight division’s most popular –and dangerous – fighters. Currently preparing for a December 17 scrap with fellow prospect Alan Jouban, Perry recently took time out of his busy schedule for an appearance on BJPenn.com’s Rapid Fire with host Chris Taylor. Given that this interview occurred just days after the unforgettable UFC 205, many of Perry’s talking points surrounded UFC 205 – particularly the card’s co-main and main events.

UFC welterweight Alan Jouban will be looking to get on a new level after his next fight coming up against the undefeated and controversial Mike Perry at UFC on FOX 22 in December.

The UFC’s December 17 trip to Sacramento, California is starting to take shape. Just days after the announcement of its compelling Paige VanZant vs. Michelle Waterson main event, the card’s lineup has gotten even sweeter with the addition of an awesome welterweight scrap.

Earlier this month, on the Fight Pass Prelims of UFC 204, “Platinum” Mike Perry improved to 2-0 as a UFC welterweight with a thunderous, third-round knockout of Danny Roberts. Now, it looks as though the undefeated prospect will be rewarded for this big win with a fight against long-time contender Matt Brown at UFC 207 this December Perry’s being given this opportunity can probably be attributed to his willingness to call fighters out after his wins. After winning his UFC debut against Hyun Gyu Lim, for example, he called out two former champions in Robbie Lawler and Johny Hendricks – both of whom were ranked miles above him at the time.

The UFC has released a statement on Alex Nicholson’s racist remarks while cornering Mike Perry in his octagon debut against Hyun Gyu Lim at UFC 202. Nicholson, a UFC middleweight and Perry’s teammate, was overheard saying “he can’t even open his (expletive) eyes” over the UFC cornerman microphones just moments before the fight began.
