Having been sidelined all of 2018, Matt Brown is planning an MMA return later this year. And Mike Perry would be an ideal opponent.

Brown, who is still recovering from knee and ankle injuries, hasn’t competed since beating Diego Sanchez back in November of 2017. He was scheduled to face Carlos Condit in 2018; however, his injuries did the fight in. An avid fight fan, Brown keeps his eye on the prize and perhaps, more importantly, he scouts his competition from the sidelines. One fighter that has caught Brown’s attention is the hard-hitting Perry.

Earlier this month Brown and Perry engaged in some back and forth on social media. Both fighters seem to like the idea of fighting one another. Brown still holds that same sentiment.

“I think fans would get behind that fight,” Brown told reporters backstage at Bellator 214 (h/t MMAJunkie). “I think it would be a good fight for me to come back to and a good fight for him to get his ass kicked in.”

While “The Immortal” is gung-ho on the “Platinum” Perry match up, his potential opponent didn’t seem to excited at the prospect at a fight with Brown. Just last week Perry called for pay-per-view opponents; there is little doubt Perry wants the last fight on his current UFC contract to be a banger.

“I’ll shrug, too,” Brown said. “I think he’s a good fight for both of us.”

Watch all of Matt Brown’s interview below.

I think I can safely speak for most MMA fans when I say that a fight between Brown and Perry would be a good fight for the fans too.

Two of the most violent fighters in the UFC may be headed for a showdown later this year as Matt Brown has answered Mike Perry’s all-violence challenge.

Perry took to Twitter earlier today to ask his fellow welterweight fighters a question. “Platinum” is looking for a fight and he wants an opponent that is going to be equally exciting as him.

And wouldn’t you know it, “The Immortal” answered Perry’s tweet with on of his own.

A fight between Brown and Perry would be nothing short of a good old fashioned slobberknocker. Both men are fan-favorite fighters because of the level of intensity and violence that each man brings to the Octagon.

Brown (21-16) got back on track with an absolutely brutal knock out of Diego Sanchez in his last outing. That, however, was in November of 2017. “The Immortal” sat out all of 2018 dealing with injuries and the like.

As for Perry (12-4), the “Platinum” one has lost three of his last four fights. His lone win in that stretch was a split decision nod over Paul Felder at UFC 226. Perry was most recently submitted by Donald Cerrone.

Jon Jones Taught Mike Perry The ‘Secret’ To Mixed Martial Arts

Mike Perry has credited Jon Jones with teaching him the ‘secret’ to mixed martial arts. Perry joined JacksonWink ahead of his fight with Paul Felder at UFC 226.

Mike Perry has credited Jon Jones with teaching him the ‘secret’ to mixed martial arts.

Perry joined JacksonWink ahead of his fight with Paul Felder at UFC 226. He would beat Felder but went on to lose his next fight against Donald “Cowboy” Cerrone at the UFC’s 25th-anniversary show earlier this month. Regardless, Perry isn’t licking his wounds for too long, not when you have “Bones” Jones at your disposal.

“Platinum” Perry recently made an appearance on BJ Penn Radio. He admitted he has a lot to learn yet and that Jon Jones has helped him tremendously in improving his ground skills:

“You need position on the ground. Jon Jones told me the secret to MMA is ground-and-pound. There were some times where I had positions on Cowboy that I should have been able to pop up and explode a little bit, and then drop down shots on him.

“I wasn’t very comfortable on top of him. I mean, I went for a key lock, and then he just rolled right from under me. There’s a better way to put my weight down. I needed to sit back. I got to work sitting my hips back more so it becomes more of a muscle memory.”

Difference In Training

Perry went on to say that Cerrone was practicing the way he defeated him while he was not. ‘Platinum’ said his opponent was able to stop him from unleashing ground damage:

“He had been in the gi for this camp, he had been grappling, and he had been attacking people’s arms. I had not been submitting people in practice. I was trying to ground and pound and hit people, but he knew how to stop me from ground and pounding him in good positions. His jiu-jitsu was just smoother.”

Perry will look to learn from his mistake and distance himself from the drama between Mike Winkeljohn and Cerrone. He said the in-fighting did creep into his performance in Denver.

Now that he’s got Jones helping him with his ground game, Perry will look to rebound after adding some new wrinkles to his skills. He’d better, as he’s lost three out of his last four.

Will Jones’ tutelage be enough for ‘Platinum’ to return to a position of a rising star?
