UFC welterweight Mike Perry has posted a throwback clip in which he knocks out a man who he claims harassed and assaulted him.
‘Platinum’ Perry has 11 wins by KO/TKO in his professional mixed martial arts career. Now, it appears he has at least one more based on the video he posted to Instagram.
In the clip, the-28-year-old fighter and the man can be seen squaring off, as a woman tries to intervene. As the man is distracted by something else, Perry throws a punch and knocks him out cold. Alongside the video, Perry wrote the following message to explain his actions and warn people to check the way they approach him.
Goin to the beach boy ! #Tbt#ViralChallenge#YOLO He’d actually just punched me in the mouth. (Why do you think they started recording) I created space, he followed with his fists balled. As I stepped into position around the girl he either flinched or got distracted from what his drunk ass was doing which was harassing me. He wouldn’t stop so I ended it. I threw the jab/hook split seconds before he looked to the left. I could’ve continued to ground and pound him to death but walked away and spoke to the police. For any of you acting like you’ve ever done anything for me please believe you play with fire you’re gonna get burned. If you can mind your space and social distance yourself from my personal bubble than anything can be resolved through conversation. Judge me all you want you bunch of cry to get your way hypocrite’s but I live an honest life and am the most truthful person I know. I share my life with all of you watching so please believe if you feel like you want to butt into anything you were not involved in than you, yo mama, yo daddy, yo wife, husbands, sisters, brothers, daughters, sons, and grandma’s and grandpa’s can get these pro fighter hands too since it’s ok to hit me but not ok when I hit back. Check yo selves !

Gilbert Burns believes Tyron Woodley is not the same fighter as he used to be. The welterweight contender said Woodley turned him down for the UFC London card that ended up being postponed. Burns also believes the former champion is not as committed to fighting anymore with his rapping, acting and TMZ career going on. […]
Gilbert Burns believes Tyron Woodley is not the same fighter as he used to be.
“The guy used to be a beast, he looked scary, but who’s that guy?” Burns told MMA Junkie. “He doesn’t look like that anymore. Last time we saw him in the octagon, he didn’t look like that. He looks bad. Even his corner was like, ‘Bite that mouthpiece and move forward,’ and he was still waiting for Usman; he was just broke.
“And that’s Tyron Woodley right now. He has so much distraction in his life right now with TMZ, rapping, acting, the whole thing. I think he’s just surrounded himself with egos and famous people. He’s changed, I believe he’s not the same anymore.”
Given the fight was offered, Gilbert Burns says he hopes to fight Tyron Woodley next. With his teammate and friend, Kamaru Usman being the champion it has put the Brazilian in a tough position.
But, if Woodley doesn’t want to fight, Burns has other options.
“That’s who I want next, but probably he’s going to keep doing what he’s doing and keep ducking me,” Burns said. “That’s why I love Kamaru (Usman) and I have all the respect for him because he earned his position fighting.
“So if that guy don’t want to fight me, I’m available, I’m going to keep fighting. If (Michael) Chiesa is next, then Chiesa is next. If ‘Wonderboy’ Thompson is next, then he’s next. I’m going to keep beating these guys until I get to him. But I don’t know, I just have a feeling I’m fighting Tyron Woodley this year. I think he might fight Leon Edwards again or fight Colby (Covington), that’s the fight that he wants, but I’m going to campaign for it so hard. That’s who I want next.
“I believe he’ll fight Leon Edwards or Colby and I believe both of these guys can beat Tyron Woodley. Tyron Woodley is almost 38, 39, if I’m not wrong. His whole ego has grown so much I can see right now the way he talks. He’s mixing the ego with confidence just being a rapper. I think he’s done, if he fights Leon Edwards or Colby, he’s going to lose, then I want him after my next fight.”
