Mike Perry is the latest fighter to call out UFC veteran Nick Diaz.
Mike Perry has gone the extra mile to call out Nick Diaz, bombarding the former Strikeforce welterweight champion and two-time UFC title challenger with a series of Tweets following Diaz’ announcement that he would be returning to the UFC after a five-year hiatus.
Diaz recently completed a 14-week diet and training regimen but Perry thinks the UFC veteran is looking ‘soft’ in his old age and that his ‘big head’ is an easy target.
Everybody talking about the return of @nickdiaz209 like he looks tough or something. A skinny weakling like his lil brother, y’all both look like @mickeygall , @realroyce was the only guy ever good at that jitsu style. Florida jiu jitsu is on top ! #EastCoast

I’ll hit you with this right hook and you’ll pull guard and I’ll just ride out the time with ground and pound from top position. If you don’t want to come back we understand, just stop clout chasing @nickdiaz209

“F*ck the Diaz brothers ! East coast b*tch ! I’m not your average internet shit talker. You can cut a check and I’ll show up if you really wanna do something about it. You won’t tho. . .”
Perry, like Diaz, has a reputation as a ‘bad boy’ and both men are are renowned for their aggressive fighting styles and ‘just scrap’ attitude.
Perry hasn’t fought since his dominant decision win over Mickey Gall at UFC Vegas 4 while Diaz, 37, hasn’t officially won a fight in almost nine years. Despite this, the Stockton slugger is still one of the most talked-about fighters in the UFC and many fans feel his return is long overdue.
