Blood spilled on the Octagon floor last night (Sat., July 7, 2018) at UFC 226 live on pay-per-view (PPV) from inside T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada, as “Platinum” Mike Perry bloodied “Irish Dragon” Paul Felder in a welterweight barn burner.
Felder did a lot of damage throughout the three-round war, but it was Perry who walked away with the split-decision win. Not only did “Platinum” burst Felder’s face wide open late in the fight, but Felder ended up breaking his arm along the way.

With this performance, Perry gets back into the welterweight win column after losing to Max Griffin this past February. His offense is somewhat limited, but Perry is beginning to take his time on the feet before he launches his power shots. We’ll see how long he can sustain that approach and how far it can take him.
