"Platinum" Mike Perry Outlines His Goals for His MMA Career: "I Would Like To Be 40-0, 50-0 One Day"

Tom Taylor - October 17, 2016

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.
