UFC welterweight Mike Perry has posted a throwback clip in which he knocks out a man who he claims harassed and assaulted him.
‘Platinum’ Perry has 11 wins by KO/TKO in his professional mixed martial arts career. Now, it appears he has at least one more based on the video he posted to Instagram.
In the clip, the-28-year-old fighter and the man can be seen squaring off, as a woman tries to intervene. As the man is distracted by something else, Perry throws a punch and knocks him out cold. Alongside the video, Perry wrote the following message to explain his actions and warn people to check the way they approach him.
Goin to the beach boy ! #Tbt #ViralChallenge #YOLO He’d actually just punched me in the mouth. (Why do you think they started recording) I created space, he followed with his fists balled. As I stepped into position around the girl he either flinched or got distracted from what his drunk ass was doing which was harassing me. He wouldn’t stop so I ended it. I threw the jab/hook split seconds before he looked to the left. I could’ve continued to ground and pound him to death but walked away and spoke to the police. For any of you acting like you’ve ever done anything for me please believe you play with fire you’re gonna get burned. If you can mind your space and social distance yourself from my personal bubble than anything can be resolved through conversation. Judge me all you want you bunch of cry to get your way hypocrite’s but I live an honest life and am the most truthful person I know. I share my life with all of you watching so please believe if you feel like you want to butt into anything you were not involved in than you, yo mama, yo daddy, yo wife, husbands, sisters, brothers, daughters, sons, and grandma’s and grandpa’s can get these pro fighter hands too since it’s ok to hit me but not ok when I hit back. Check yo selves !
