Alan Jouban is scheduled to fight Mike Perry in a welterweight bout at UFC on FOX 22 in December and has already started talking trash Perry.

Perry, who is an up and coming fighter that has put fear in his opponent by earning all nine of his career wins by knockout, six in the first round. However, Jouban has other plans for the fight and explained what he thinks will happen when the two enter the world famous octagon during a recent appearance on the MMA H.E.A.T. podcast.

“It’s going to be a barnburner – we’re going to want to take each other out before the closing bell,” Jouban said. “He’s a bit of a newbie to the UFC – he’s only had two fights in the UFC, but both of his fights have been within three months of each other. … He’s 9-0 with nine knockouts, so he’s a fun guy to watch, and he’s a big (expletive) talker, so it’s actually working out. He’s not the name or the ranking that I wanted, but he’s another guy that will generate a lot of buzz.”

Jouban elaborated on Perry’s personality during the podcast as he compared him to the male cast members of the MTV reality series “Jersey Shore,” which was a big hit during its time on the air.

“I definitely watched all the seasons of ‘Jersey Shore,’ I was a fan,” Jouban said. “He reminds me of all the ‘Jersey Shore’ guys. He didn’t make it into the house (for the show). He talks a lot of trash. We’ve been going back-and-forth on Twitter. But at the end of the day, it’s bringing attention to the fight. It’s making me want to punch him in the face a lot more than when I found out I’m going to be fighting him.”

Perry got wind of Jouban’s comments and reacted via his official Twitter account:

UFC on FOX 22 takes place on December 17th with the prelims airing on UFC Fight Pass and FOX while the two-hour main card will air on FOX. Paige VanZant vs. Michelle Waterson will headline the event.

Rumor Mill: Matt Brown vs Mike Perry Is The Slobber-Knocker We All Deserve

If this is true, then color me impressed. Talk about great match making. Matt Brown and Mike Perry may be set to lock horns at UFC 207 in Las Vegas later this year. Mike Perry is still pretty fresh as a UFC prospect, but has already done enough to garner interest in his contest. He has a polarizing personality, but can back everything up with some well placed power shots. Matt Brown is an absolute beast and even though he may have lost to Jake Ellenberger in his last outing, it doesn’t change the fact that he has the mentality of a warrior. Matching these two up means guaranteed fireworks in the Octagon. So how exactly do these two match up anyways?

If this is true, then color me impressed. Talk about great match making. Matt Brown and Mike Perry may be set to lock horns at UFC 207 in Las Vegas later this year.

Matt Brown is an absolute beast and even though he may have lost to Jake Ellenberger in his last outing, it doesn’t change the fact that he has the mentality of a warrior. Matching these two up means guaranteed fireworks in the Octagon. So how exactly do these two match up anyways?

Well, Matt Brown is a man who knows to fight only one way: coming forward with reckless abandon. While his style may have resembled brawling at one point in his career, at this stage it’s become more of a controlled and technical style that thrives on forward momentum and chaos. When Brown has his man hurt or cornered you can bet a ton of strikes from punches to elbows, to knees and kicks will be flying. Brown has the kind of style that overwhelms individuals and forces them into a defensive shell.

Which makes this match all the more interesting.

From what can be assessed of Mike Perry’s style, one thing is certain. He rarely takes a backwards step and carries his power into the later rounds. Just a couple of weeks ago we got to see Mike Perry demonstrate why he’s such a dangerous opponent as he took out Danny Roberts at UFC 204. What Perry lacks in head movement he makes up for in shear power and aggression. Perry believes in his chin and his power which always makes for a dangerous mix for both him and his opponents. It’s dangerous for Perry to rely on his chin not giving out in order to land his own shots. That said, it gives his opponents a certain amount of fear as he comes forward. They know he has power and if they’re unable to hurt him they can likely become gun-shy. But Matt Brown isn’t the type of man to back down.

Will this dream fight come to fruition or is it just that, a pipe dream?

UFC Welterweight Apologizes For Racist Remarks At UFC 202

Two days after last weekend’s (Sat., August 20, 2016) UFC 202 from the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada, a UFC middleweight has issued an apology for racially insensitive marks he was seen and heard issuing during the UFC Fight Pass-aired portion of the UFC preliminary card.

Two days after last weekend’s (Sat., August 20, 2016) UFC 202 from the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada, a UFC middleweight has issued an apology for racially insensitive marks he was seen and heard issuing during the UFC Fight Pass-aired portion of the UFC preliminary card.

Alex Nicholson, who recently picked up his first UFC win in July with a shocking come-from-behind knockout of favored Devin Clark at the scintillating UFC Fight Night 91 from Sioux Falls, South Dakota, was caught on video muttering the unfortunate phrase, “He can’t even open his motherf**king eyes,” when his teammate Mike Perry was introduced for his own UFC debut against veteran Hyun Gyu Lim.

The comments were immediately flagged for their brash oversight of common respect, especially in a bout when Perry had already drawn heat for instigating at the official weigh-ins. He went on to win the bout with a brutal knockout, so it’s unfortunate that Nicholson had to mar his teammate’s big debut win with some in-the-moment comments like this.

For his part, he attempted to mend the fences this evening with an apology on Twitter (via Bloody Elbow):

It takes a big man to admit when he’s wrong and apologize, although it remains to be seen if the UFC will take any action against Nicholson for the bad publicity they certainly don’t need in this age of seemingly nonstop USADA drug test failures.

He’s only a two-fight veteran in the UFC, having lost his debut to a brutal jaw/neck crank submission from rising prospect Misha Cirkunov after he proposed to his girlfriend at the weigh-ins.

Following his win at middleweight, it’d be unfortunate to see a potentially solid career be hindered by such a foolish statement.

We’ll see if this apology is enough in the eyes of the new UFC ownership.
