Headline: Mike Perry Takes Heat For Using N-Word In Social Media Beef With Michael Jai White

Mike Perry is defending himself after taking heat for using the N-word.

Perry hasn’t been one to shy away from controversy. “Platinum” is known for being outspoken and some have said his personality is an acquired taste. Some, however, believe that Perry has gone too far with his insult towards actor and martial artist Michael Jai White.

Mike Perry Gets Flak For Saying N-Word, Responds

Perry recently took to Twitter to challenge White to a “backyard bare-knuckle” fight.

“I just feel like #KimboSlice would beat the fuck outta @MichaelJaiWhite and his tone in the video really bothered me. He should fight me backyard bare knuckle because I would like to learn this ‘prison movie technique’ he was talking about #PPV #Or #For #Free.”

White fired back at Perry with an offer of his own.

“Maybe if MP learned my ‘Prison Movie Technique’ he wouldn’t be ranked #20? I got no time for playground callouts Brother but holla when you come thru and maybe I’ll have time to give you a personal demo. Just DM me Bro. It really ain’t that hard!”

Perry would go on to question what credibility White has when it comes to world-class competition.

“What’s your world class rank ? I’m the real deal. I know it. I leveled up the intensity of the whole sport soon as I hit the world stage. You fight on playgrounds in your movies. Fight me in a pro fight and let the world watch. @danawhite ‘s backyard .”

Things took a turn when Perry used the N-word in an attempt to goad White into a fight.

Perry caught flak for his use of the N-word from fans and even UFC strawweight Angela Hill.

“White people using ‘nigga’ to insult a black person, I don’t give a fuck what your intentions were, it ain’t right. The few times I’ve run into Perry during fights he’s seemed cool, this isn’t cool.”

Perry isn’t likely to apologize anytime soon.

“You have to make a big deal out of this. A white man said that to you because you straight up being one. Y’all can’t act like you don’t hear me. It was bull shit he was trying to slander a real gangsta so people would think he more than an actor. For #FLA we say #FOH”

“You are already offended I’m alive and breathing.”

Mike Perry Responds To Backlash Over His Use Of The ‘N-Word’

UFC welterweight Mike Perry has received mass backlash for his use of a racial slur during his online feud with actor Michael Jai White. ‘Platinum’ and ‘MJW have been exchanging insults online, after Perry took issue with an old video of White training with the late Kimbo Slice. The 28-year-old UFC fighter wasn’t a fan of how the actor was speaking to Kimbo in the video and challenged him to a fight to defend Kimbo’s honour.

However Perry is
in hot water after making a racial remark during their Twitter exchange, he
said. “Blood and bone, more like a b*tch ass n*gga Michael Jai
White.”

His use of the ‘N-word’ didn’t go down with the majority of MMA fans, even some fighters spoke out against Perry’s racist remarks. UFC strawweight Angela Hill responded to his tweet and slammed his use of ‘N-word’, she said. “White people using ‘nigga’ to insult a black person, I don’t give a fuck what your intentions were, it ain’t right. The few times I’ve run into Perry during fights he’s seemed cool, this isn’t cool.”

Unfortunately, this isn’t the first time
Perry has found himself in trouble for using racist language. The 170lb fighter
insulted Tyron Woodley in the same way back in 2018, before clearing himself of
any wrongdoing by claiming he is two percent African.

Perry has showed no sign of backing down.
In his most recent social media post he appears to double down on his comments
and refuses to apoligise. “You have to make a big deal out of this. A white man
said that to you because you straight up being one. Y’all can’t act like you
don’t hear me. It was bullsh*t. He was trying to slander a real gangsta so
people would think he more than an actor. For FLA we say FOH.” Before
later adding the following. “You are already offended I’m alive and breathing.”

Should Mike Perry be cut by the UFC for his continued use of racial slurs?

UFC welterweight “Platinum” Mike Perry has been in the middle of a back-and-forth with actor Michael Jai White over White’s recent comments about the late Kimbo Slice.

White’s comments seem to have gotten under the skin of Perry, who has been taking a lot of shots at the actor on Twitter as of late. In a recent Tweet, Perry used the ‘n-word’ against White, calling him a “b*tch a** n*gga.”

“Maybe if MP learned my “Prison Movie Technique” he wouldn’t be ranked #20? I got no time for playground callouts Brother but holla when you come thru and maybe I’ll have time to give you a personal demo. Just DM me Bro. It really ain’t that hard!”

“Blood and bone more like bitch ass nigga @MichaelJaiWhite”

This certainly struck a nerve with many who read the Tweet, including UFC strawweight competitor Angela Hill, who spoke out against Perry for using the racial slur.

“White people using ‘nigga’ to insult a black person, I don’t give a fuck what your intentions were, it ain’t right. The few times I’ve run into Perry during fights he’s seemed cool, this isn’t cool.”

Perry certainly doesn’t seem to think he’s in the wrong here, however, as he defended his comments in a follow-up Tweet.

“You have to make a big deal out of this. A white man said that to you because you straight up being one. Y’all can’t act like you don’t hear me. It was bull shit he was trying to slander a  real gangsta so people would think he more than an actor. For #FLA we say #FOH”

Hollywood actor and martial arts practitioner Michael Jai White fired back at UFC welterweight Mike Perry.

Perry recently took issue with comments White made about the late Kimbo Slice and proceeded to call him out for a bare knuckle backyard fight.

It didn’t take long for White to respond as he took a dig at Perry while inviting him to learn some techniques at the same time:

“Maybe if MP learned my “Prison Movie Technique” he wouldn’t be ranked #20??I got no time for playground callouts Brother but holla when you come thru and maybe I’ll have time to give you a personal demo. Just DM me Bro. It really ain’t that hard!”

White also clarified the comments he made about Slice:

“I like Mike Perry, that’s why I follow him! Maybe he “FEELS” I meant to diss Kimbo but he’s wrong. Slice was my friend RIP, and many extracted the positive, teachable moment I intended.”

Perry would respond to White’s tweets on Monday as he accepted his invite before proceeding to challenge him to a professional fight:

“Let’s make it happen captain @MichaelJaiWhite , you wanna dm , send location.

“What’s your world class rank ? I’m the real deal. I know it. I leveled up the intensity of the whole sport soon as I hit the world stage. You fight on playgrounds in your movies. Fight me in a pro fight and let the world watch. @danawhite ‘s backyard.”

UFC welterweight Mike Perry isn’t one to shy away from social media and he recently took issue with a Hollywood actor.

On Friday, Perry shared how he saw a video of Michael Jai Perry talking about teaching Kimbo Slice some moves when they were working on 2009 movie “Blood and Bone” and how some concepts were difficult for the backyard brawler to grasp.

Perry wasn’t a fan of those comments as he decided to call White out for a backyard fight:

“An actor recently was saying how he was trying to teach kimbo something too difficult for kimbo to grasp,” Perry tweeted. “I think you actors better stay in the movies. 1 knee make your nose look like special effects.

“I just feel like #KimboSlice would beat the f*ck outta @MichaelJaiWhite and his tone in the video really bothered me. He should fight me backyard bare knuckle because I would like to learn this “prison movie technique” he was talking about #PPV #Or #For #Free ?????”

White hasn’t been active on Twitter since late November so it seems like he hasn’t come across Perry’s challenge as of yet.

However, it should be interesting to see how he reacts to “Platinum.”

What do you make of Perry’s challenge for White?

Geoff Neal followed through on his promise to become the first person to finish Mike Perry via TKO.

Neal made quick work of Perry on the UFC 245 featured preliminary bout on ESPN this past weekend (Sat. December 14, 2019). Perry got rocked with a head kick early on and Neal proceeded to finish him with strikes. It was a tremendous showing from Neal, who established himself as a contender to keep your eye on at 170 pounds.

As for Perry, it’s quite the setback, as he’s now on a two-fight losing streak, having dropped three of his last four. Now, Perry has released a lengthy statement on Instagram, praising Neal for his performance Saturday night.

“He set things up. Adapted to my movement. I was waiting and he took initiative. Thought even tho my right hand loaded I would still block the kick. I remember the kick. Then I went to defensive mode. Didn’t fire back. Didn’t shoot In or go for the clinch. Can’t wait. Had him against the cage but I didn’t GO.

“Missed my chance. Gonna be an interesting year 2020. I have to look at life with such a different plan. Maybe I’m gonna start living. Possibilities are endless. I am forced to be better. I’ve hit the bottom but I know I will find a path up hill. I’ll be the turtle. Got some sense and inner peace knocked into me. I will be better.

“The gym is calling me. No pressure. I’ll just be taking my time. I will Earn the right to win again. No telling how long it will take.”
