Never let it be said that Mike Perry doesn’t have plans. The UFC welterweight has fast become one of the most talked about personalities on the promotion’s roster, even if it’s not always for the best reasons. Whether it’s downplaying racist remarks from his corner, dealing with his own troubled past, telling hilarious stories about Darren Till, or just being a somewhat one-dimensional KO machine, Perry has a way of grabbing attention.
It’s a skill the UFC has clearly taken note of, as the promotion has steadily pushed him into higher profile bouts.
