Streaking UFC welterweight contender Mike Perry is enjoying a boost of momentum thanks to two impressive knockouts over Jake Ellenberger and Alex Reyes in 2017, wins that have earned him a pivotal showdown with fellow knockout artist Santiago Ponzinibbio at December 16’s UFC on FOX 26.

But ‘Platinum’ has also ground the proverbial promotional ax himself, and his highly-publicized efforts include showing up to October 21’s UFC Gdansk to get in the face of main event winner and fellow welterweight riser Darren Till.

Now, ‘Platinum’ is back with his own sort of shall we say, ‘unique’ video he posted on Instagram for Halloween today (Tues., October 31, 2017), where he smashed several pumpkins with various Muay Thai techniques while debuting a cringe-worthy rap beginning with the words. ‘I’m ghoulish, you foolish – to accept a fight with me.’

Mike Perry: Darren Till Didn’t Fight Real ‘Cowboy’ In Gdansk

Veteran Donald Cerrone certainly didn’t put on the best performance of his career yesterday (Oct. 21, 2017) in Poland. “Cowboy” had difficulty figuring out rising contender Darren Till, and he ultimately suffered a brutal first-round TKO loss to “The Pride of Liverpool”. What’s next for Cerrone is unclear, but Till will have many options awaiting […]

Veteran Donald Cerrone certainly didn’t put on the best performance of his career yesterday (Oct. 21, 2017) in Poland.

“Cowboy” had difficulty figuring out rising contender Darren Till, and he ultimately suffered a brutal first-round TKO loss to “The Pride of Liverpool”. What’s next for Cerrone is unclear, but Till will have many options awaiting him after such an impressive victory.

One potential opponent for Till could be fellow rising contender Mike Perry, who was cage side for yesterday’s bout. “Platinum” acknowledged that Till put on a solid performance, but he also said that the 24-year-old didn’t fight the ‘Cowboy who wins fights’:

“Yeah, he looked good against Donald — against Donald Cerrone,” Perry told John Gooden and Dan Hardy. “Not against ‘The Cowboy.’ That’s not the ‘Cowboy’ that wins fights. That’s the Donald that shows up. I wasn’t happy with Donald’s performance. I’ve seen him fight a lot better. Darren didn’t get a tough fighter tonight, he got someone who gave up in the first round. You know that’s not what we’re gonna see with me.”

Perry currently has a fight lined up, as he’s set to take on Santiago Ponzinibbio in December, but he made it clear that he’s looking forward to fighting Till:

“I’m ready to fight right now, man,” Perry said. “I wish I could have got in that cage with him, in that Octagon. But you know, it doesn’t work like that. We gotta be professionals about this, we’ve gotta sign the paperwork and we’re gonna make it happen. I’m pretty sure that it’s gonna go down. I look forward to it, but first I’ve got work to do first with Santiago Ponzinibbio in Winnipeg, Canada.”

Till has shown phenomenal striking skills in the Octagon in addition to having serious power in his left hand. Perry, however, feels like he would ‘KO’ Till:

“Rankings don’t matter, they’ve never mattered since I got here,” Perry said. “It’s about how hard I hit you with my right and my left hand. He wants to box, I look forward to any MMA fighter that wants to box with me. Santiago Ponzinibbio is gonna be the first example of that. And then I’m gonna show you Darren Till in England, man. I’m gonna KO this man in his hometown. We know what happened last time I went to Manchester.”

Darren Till Promises To ‘Take The Champion Out’ When Given A Shot

24-year-old welterweight contender Darren Till made a huge statement yesterday (Oct. 21, 2017), knocking out Donald Cerrone in the first round of their UFC Fight Night 118 main event bout.

24-year-old welterweight contender Darren Till made a huge statement yesterday (Oct. 21, 2017), knocking out Donald Cerrone in the first round of their UFC Fight Night 118 main event bout.

An impressive win over the No. 6-ranked welterweight will certainly launch Till up the divisional rankings, but he also acknowledges the fact that there’s still quite a few of contenders ahead of him. When he gets his shot to fight for the title, however, Till is confident that he’ll ‘take the champion out’:

“There’s so many more guys in front of me,” Till during the post-fight presser. “They need the shot first, and then when I get my shot, I’ll just take the champion out. But I’m certainly closer. I’ll ask for the title shot when I take the No. 2 guy out.”

With that being said, Till could find himself taking on fellow rising contender Mike Perry in his next outing, as the two engaged in a war of words after yesterday’s fight. They’ve also gone back-and-forth on social media in recent weeks.

Perry, however, is set to take on Santiago Ponzinibbio at UFC on FOX 26 this December, and Till isn’t confident that “Platinum” will emerge from that fight with his hand raised:

“I didn’t call him out. (Perry) said ‘Cowboy’ was going to beat me on Twitter, and I said he wouldn’t. I was, in my mind, going to call out Mike Perry. But he got the fight booked with Santiago Ponzinibbio, who I want to fight as well. So I don’t really care about (Perry) now,” said Till.

“The fight can happen if he beats Santiago, which I don’t think he will do, and then we can get it on. But he has a fight right now, so I don’t really care.”

Now 4-0-1 in the UFC, who would you like to see Till matched up with next?
