Bringing you the weird and wild from the world of MMA each and every weeknight!
Welcome to Midnight Mania!
Mike Perry is not a person you want to mess with, but some TikTok guy still tried to provoke a fight with “Platinum” on Friday night.
The former UFC fighter is gearing up for a showdown with Jake Paul inside the boxing ring this weekend and was in Tampa, Fla., on Friday for the ceremonial weigh ins. While backstage, Perry was harassed by some annoying influencer who kept saying that Paul was going to get the win.
Perry, who is usually ready to brawl at the drop of a dime, shoved the guy away from him and surprisingly stopped there. The TikToker kept running his mouth as security rushed in and started to break it up. During the melee the guy seemed to spray a can of W in Perry’s direction. He’s lucky to be alive. Check it out below:

He says he’s never stepping foot in Canada again until they “get rid of that guy” because “they’re in the middle of a full-blown communist takeover.”

Looks like Aljamain Sterling vs. Movsar Evloev is official for UFC 307.
This is definitely not the smartest thing to say.
