Mike Perry, Daniel Rodriguez
UFC welterweight Mike Perry scoffed at the boxing advice given by Twitter users after suggesting he wants to improve that part of his game.
Perry lost a lopsided unanimous decision to Daniel Rodriguez at UFC Vegas 23 last week. “Platinum” was jabbed up the entire fight and, although he did score some takedowns, took a ton of damage on the feet and wasn’t able to fire much back in return. With the loss, Perry has now dropped four of his last five fights. While Perry started off his UFC career five years ago knocking everyone out and becoming a fan favorite, he has really struggled as of late. At this point, you have to wonder what’s next for Perry. He likely will get another fight in the UFC due to being a fan favorite, but it would be a must-win fight if it happens.

We’re one day removed from UFC on ABC 2 fight week, and in addition to the intriguing last-minute Marvin Vettori vs. Kevin Holland main event we’ve also got the return of UFC bad boy “Platinum” Mike Perry to look forward to. Well . if you’re into him.
Some, like UFC President, Dana White, think, “He’s always tough and fun to watch!” Others point to the disturbing stories of possible CTE and alleged abuse from his ex Danielle Nickerson along with his camera-confirmed violent behavior outside the cage and worry he’s a ticking time bomb ready to go off.
