Chris Taylor - November 20, 2016

‘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.

‘Platinum’ Mike Perry has been the talk of the MMA community for the past several months. Ahead of 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. When the pair stepped in the Octagon however, it took just over half a round for Perry to TKO Lim, and earn himself his first UFC victory.

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. Jouban says that with a good performance against Perry, he will achieve his first MMA goal of breaking into the UFC welterweight rankings. Jouban recently was a guest on BJPenn.com Radio and spoke with our host “Kinch” about his UFC welterweight opponent, Mike “Platinum” Perry and how he thinks their fight will play out on December 17 in Sacramento, California.

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.
