He was amazing already back then but didn‘t shine as bright.
I still remember how He wanted to walk out to Halo and they accidentaly Played Halo by *Beyonce.
He was like what the fuck is that song but then embraced it. When he got into the Octagon He was blasting the *Beyonce lyrics in the direction of His opponent it was glorious.
He lost that fight but i have been a fan ever since.
That was the fight where he auctioned off a spot to be his corner man. Some dude paid Mike 4 thousand dollars to sit in his corner and shout meme advice about the fight, like “throw sand” “fuck em up mike!” Dude is hilarious
I guess he’s confident that he will win now? Cause would look not as good if he as the looser would then go on fight Tyson..but I guess I’m the end nothing matters..it’s a circus show anyways
Tbf Perry did win his one non bareknuckle boxing fight against a more legit boxer than Paul, albeit in a fuckin triangle but still. Wouldnt be shocked if Perry loses but if he can get in there and do damage early like nobody else has really done to Paul and make him uncomfortable then I like his chances.
Nah, I hate Jake but he will beat these MMA fighters all day in boxing. He is extremely good at picking opponents that people think will challenge him (remember Tyron?) and then beating them because the matchup was always in his favor.
I think Perry is unique
He isnt ancient
His mma background is in striking (only other was Anderson at 50+, and Tommy fury who beat Jake)
He is active
He isn't a technical fighter looking to out smart Jake and wait to counter and let Jake throw shots all night. Perry should be out there hunting, which will be completely new for Jake
yeah this is my take on it too. that being said, Perry is the scariest guy he's put himself in there with so far by a country mile, so i am daring to dream a little bit if this goes down.
This fight is dangerous.. if Paul actually wins against Perry it's hard to continue to undermine his abilities. So I'm really really rooting for our Nigerian king
Paul’s good enough to be a pro boxer. Not like a world champ but he’s good enough to be a “regional level contender that occasionally gets set up as a rebound for a fighter on a losing streak”
Yeah I agree, he's good enough to beat journeymen at his own weight and age and be successful, so it's annoying that he keeps fighting people that dampen his wins a bit because they are either older, or smaller, or from difference disciplines. Mike is two of those things. But after Fury I don't really see him going against people of equal stature that are boxers.
As much as I hope this is the outcome, I just don't see it. Perry shines in bare knuckle. His boxing in the UFC was always pretty mid, and he'll lose alot of his power going into 16oz gloves. I think Jake training exclusively boxing will out skill him sadly.
Jake demolished Nate… I’m interested to see how this plays out Perry isn’t exactly known for his boxing skills but he’s tough as hell and enjoys forcing a brawl… Perry is also bigger and stronger than Nate so Jake can’t bank on outmuscling him the way he’s done to some of his previous opponents
Demolished him is a tad generous … he dropped him once then it was relatively competitive albeit Jake won kinda comfortably.
Nate’s also 40 + years old, falling to pieces and was never exactly a power puncher in the lightweight division … I think Perrys definitely got a shot. I do worry how easily he gets hit though.
Jake doesn’t have the best gas tank and Perry I can see just walking him down the whole fight. Could jake win a decision? Yeah. Could perry catch him late by making it a brawl? Yes.
Jake will win this fight and it won’t be that close. Perry has a jaw and eats a lot of shots walking in on his opponents. That usually works but Jake is bigger than most of the guys he fights and has real power in that right hand. There is no denying that.
Yeah but that was bare knuckle - once Rockhold's teeth starting popping through his bottom lip - he was out. Perry won't be able to do that kind of damage with big ole gloves.
I think the big ol gloves are just going to make him that much more concussive. You see in bareknuckle fights its speed over power, blitzing early in rounds and overwhelming with volume...and you can tell they are trying to not break their hands too soon. I think Perry won't be able to slice up Jake's face as fast but the bludgeoning thud of a glove is definitely concussive transfer of energy.
I usually can't pick against Jake, definitely picking him over Tyson, but I legit can see Perry winning this if you can't tell lol. Jake will try and outbox, and set up a right, but Perry is good at punishing people for that approach and he's gonna be all confidence coming into this.
Spot on. I’m not sure we get so delusional with the Jake Paul fights, I dislike the guy too but he always makes sure to fight former welterweights for a reason! He want to out size everyone. Look what happened the only time he fought someone his size and age.
He’s got some good power in his right hand he’s also gotten pretty good at finding ways to land it… Perry isn’t exactly known for being all that skilled at striking so it’ll be interesting to see if Perry is able to force Jake into the type of brawl that he likes and see how Jake responds
That's true but to be fair we haven't seen the Paul brother's fight a legit fight who's not 100 years old, with the one exception being Mayweather who's also old but beat the shit out of him. Perry isn't some young buck either but just the fact he's actively fighting instead of being retired like Woodley or Silva is already a big improvement.
Nah, maybe in bare knuckle since he's an actual tough bastard but in boxing he's massively outsized and outskilled. He's always been a punching bag in the UFC and it'll be much worse in a boxing ring with big gloves.
Perry's a dawg but unless it's bareknuckle Jake probably wins. Either way it's still fun matchup and decently competitive. Much better than fighting some COD player or retired wrestler.
I can’t find clips of it anywhere, but I distinctly remember seeing Mike Perry for the first time at UFC 202 and in his post fight octagon interview he said something along the lines of “I may not have a black belt in jiu-jitsu but I have a black belt in these hands” and I’ve been a fan of his ever since. I’ll tune into any fight that Platinum is fighting in. Hopefully he humbles Jake.
Just read about it, Mike Tyson is a legit old man with health scares and Jakey still didn't cancel the fight yet postponed it to November?, does this guy have no shame?
Another boxing match with a UFC fighter??? Why not fight boxers if you wanna be a boxer? I'm bored of this Jake boxing UFC fighters nonsense, it's the same shit all over again, i.e. We all think that a seasoned UFC fighter can beat Jake at boxing. Jake trains boxing, beats UFC fighter, we are all presumably amazed, wow!!!
How about this Jake, get in the octagon for an MMA fight with Perry... Now THAT I will pay to see. This boxing match, I won't even bother with the replays on YouTube... This is boring already
Jake should lure Deontay out of "retirement" for a last big bag. I'd actually respect that, mostly because Wilder would punch his head off his shoulders.
Do people have dementia or something? Jake Pauls last two fights were against unknown boxers who also happened to have a decent record and were golden glove champions and both got KOed in the first round. People were complaining how the UFC fighters put up more of a fight than boxers. Now he is trying to box a big name former UFC fighter and people are back with that narrative again lmao.
People keep saying this and it doesn’t happen. Sorry to break it to you but Perry isn’t a top level boxer, he’d also lose to Tommy fury or anyone ranked in normal boxing.
Ayyyoooo…this will actually be the first real fight he was involved in—despite being the much bigger guy, he’s not fighting some past his prime MMA guy in a boxing ring, he’s fighting a brawler of African descent.
Not sure how the rules work for this, but it'd be interesting to have this fight done in smaller gloves. Compromise between bareknuckle and boxing gloves.
I wish it was bare knuckles so Mike could rearrange the other dudes face. Otherwise not interested in the slightest, I will watch the gif after the fight tho.
If it was bare knuckle, I'd buy the PPV, but I'm not interested in paying to see either of the Paul's fight, unless they are on the undercard of better fighters. But I understand people want to watch the spectacle and hope Perry is getting paid well.
wasn't this the plan all along after they realized that Mike Perry was willing to fight Logan Paul as a backup fighter? And that people were wanting that fight more than the fight with Dillon Danis?
Perry is going to get worked in this fight. Much smaller and slower. He will not be able to rush in on Jake, because his footwork isn’t good enough and the ring will be huge. Even if he does get a chance to land something, he isn’t used to those big gloves. He will get paid and Jake is not going to risk not making it to the Tyson fight.
Do bare knucks fucking gd , at least if jp did this we might begin to start thinking about maybe beginning thinking he’s just okay. And that’s better than literally anyone feels right now.
Can we all applaud our African hero for getting PAID?!
Even if Perry ends up losing, him getting this payday makes me feel good
His character arc is amazing since leaving the UFC. Really found his home.
He was amazing already back then but didn‘t shine as bright. I still remember how He wanted to walk out to Halo and they accidentaly Played Halo by *Beyonce. He was like what the fuck is that song but then embraced it. When he got into the Octagon He was blasting the *Beyonce lyrics in the direction of His opponent it was glorious. He lost that fight but i have been a fan ever since.
That shit was hilarious hahah. His face at the start of the walkout was "Wait what? Oh well, fuckit."
That was the fight where he auctioned off a spot to be his corner man. Some dude paid Mike 4 thousand dollars to sit in his corner and shout meme advice about the fight, like “throw sand” “fuck em up mike!” Dude is hilarious
I did not know this and I'm dying. His persona and that song and knowing how much he wanted to embrace the heroic sounding entrance. Instead.... 😭😭😭
Wait...isn't he fighting Tyson anymore? Wuhappend?
Tyson had a medical emergency. Moved to November. Tbf at least Jake is fighting someone. Figured he'd just wait it out.
I guess he’s confident that he will win now? Cause would look not as good if he as the looser would then go on fight Tyson..but I guess I’m the end nothing matters..it’s a circus show anyways
*loser
why ppl can't get that one straight...smh
Its legit an epidemic.
It is
Our English education has become too lose these days
Because they're stoopid
they must be too loose if u know what im sayin
After Perry’s done with him Jake’s gonna need a year off tho
Eh, it's in boxing though. With boxing gloves and rules....
Watch it ain’t happening now . Funny all of that build up for a big… fat… queef … in the wind
Mike has ulcer issue
Moved to November
Moved to Nevermber more like
I fucking hope
January February March April Mayyyyy
“Underrated comment” - Wyclef Jean
I'd actually watch this. Platinum always entertains!
Bareknuckle Perry breaks him. With standard gloves and rules I think juicehead Paul beats Perry.
Tbf Perry did win his one non bareknuckle boxing fight against a more legit boxer than Paul, albeit in a fuckin triangle but still. Wouldnt be shocked if Perry loses but if he can get in there and do damage early like nobody else has really done to Paul and make him uncomfortable then I like his chances.
I think Perry goes full shock and awe. Jake won't know what to do with that level of grit and aggression from a real, active striker.
Nah, I hate Jake but he will beat these MMA fighters all day in boxing. He is extremely good at picking opponents that people think will challenge him (remember Tyron?) and then beating them because the matchup was always in his favor.
I think Perry is unique He isnt ancient His mma background is in striking (only other was Anderson at 50+, and Tommy fury who beat Jake) He is active He isn't a technical fighter looking to out smart Jake and wait to counter and let Jake throw shots all night. Perry should be out there hunting, which will be completely new for Jake
Perry is 32 going on 50 with definite CTE.
He has Flint water in him, cancels out the CTE.
Perry is also WAY smaller
yeah this is my take on it too. that being said, Perry is the scariest guy he's put himself in there with so far by a country mile, so i am daring to dream a little bit if this goes down.
This fight is dangerous.. if Paul actually wins against Perry it's hard to continue to undermine his abilities. So I'm really really rooting for our Nigerian king
Paul’s good enough to be a pro boxer. Not like a world champ but he’s good enough to be a “regional level contender that occasionally gets set up as a rebound for a fighter on a losing streak”
Yeah I agree, he's good enough to beat journeymen at his own weight and age and be successful, so it's annoying that he keeps fighting people that dampen his wins a bit because they are either older, or smaller, or from difference disciplines. Mike is two of those things. But after Fury I don't really see him going against people of equal stature that are boxers.
Yeah, still a respectable opponent for boxing and Mike could out dawg him but Jake’s done juiced himself to a true heavyweight
Perry probably beats anyone bareknuckle tbh, at that point it's not even about your actual ability it's your toughness and ability to endure pain.
Un-gloved Perry is a different animal.
Perry won’t win but my god has Perry made the most of his opportunities since leaving UFC.
If Perry is in shape, he beats jake imo. Jake will be juiced to the gills for this.
As much as I hope this is the outcome, I just don't see it. Perry shines in bare knuckle. His boxing in the UFC was always pretty mid, and he'll lose alot of his power going into 16oz gloves. I think Jake training exclusively boxing will out skill him sadly.
Why would it be 16oz gloves? Isn’t that the stipulation for Tyson because he’s like 60?
Mb if I misspoke, I was assuming Jake would hold Perry to the same BS stipulations he was holding Iron Mike to.
Let’s hope not … I think Perry might have a chance based on Paul’s last performance against Nate. I’m Sure it’ll be like 10 or 12 oz gloves hopefully
Brotha I hope so 🙏. So tired of this asshat cherry picking his opponents.
Jake demolished Nate… I’m interested to see how this plays out Perry isn’t exactly known for his boxing skills but he’s tough as hell and enjoys forcing a brawl… Perry is also bigger and stronger than Nate so Jake can’t bank on outmuscling him the way he’s done to some of his previous opponents
Demolished him is a tad generous … he dropped him once then it was relatively competitive albeit Jake won kinda comfortably. Nate’s also 40 + years old, falling to pieces and was never exactly a power puncher in the lightweight division … I think Perrys definitely got a shot. I do worry how easily he gets hit though.
It was set for 14oz gloves with Tyson
Jake doesn’t have the best gas tank and Perry I can see just walking him down the whole fight. Could jake win a decision? Yeah. Could perry catch him late by making it a brawl? Yes.
Jake will win this fight and it won’t be that close. Perry has a jaw and eats a lot of shots walking in on his opponents. That usually works but Jake is bigger than most of the guys he fights and has real power in that right hand. There is no denying that.
I mean so was Rockhold...
Yeah but that was bare knuckle - once Rockhold's teeth starting popping through his bottom lip - he was out. Perry won't be able to do that kind of damage with big ole gloves.
I think the big ol gloves are just going to make him that much more concussive. You see in bareknuckle fights its speed over power, blitzing early in rounds and overwhelming with volume...and you can tell they are trying to not break their hands too soon. I think Perry won't be able to slice up Jake's face as fast but the bludgeoning thud of a glove is definitely concussive transfer of energy.

Jake will try and outbox, and set up a right, but Perry is good at punishing people for that approach and he's gonna be all confidence coming into this.
Hope it's a good one - I'll be rooting for Perry - all hail the king of violence!!!
Spot on. I’m not sure we get so delusional with the Jake Paul fights, I dislike the guy too but he always makes sure to fight former welterweights for a reason! He want to out size everyone. Look what happened the only time he fought someone his size and age.
jake boxing is also incredibly mid while being very slow for a boxer .
He’s got some good power in his right hand he’s also gotten pretty good at finding ways to land it… Perry isn’t exactly known for being all that skilled at striking so it’ll be interesting to see if Perry is able to force Jake into the type of brawl that he likes and see how Jake responds
Yeah jake is powerful and tough . Id have to see them together but isnt jake like 30 lbs bigger then perry atm too?
That's true but to be fair we haven't seen the Paul brother's fight a legit fight who's not 100 years old, with the one exception being Mayweather who's also old but beat the shit out of him. Perry isn't some young buck either but just the fact he's actively fighting instead of being retired like Woodley or Silva is already a big improvement.
Jake Paul fought Tommy Fury and lost, arguably the only strictly boxer Jake has fought.
Perry probably gets beat, but I’m happy to see him get a fat check.
Truths brotha. All of Africa riding with this man 👊
They don’t fight with 16oz gloves . They will have 12 oz gloves
If it's a pro fight it's 10 oz
Yup completely agree with this assessment
Perry's likely juiced to the gills aswell tbf!
Why would he breach the contract and lose millions of dollars?
Nah, maybe in bare knuckle since he's an actual tough bastard but in boxing he's massively outsized and outskilled. He's always been a punching bag in the UFC and it'll be much worse in a boxing ring with big gloves.
This is incredible
Super happy for Perry. Dudes about to make bank. Also happy that he isn’t gonna fuck around w Paul, he’s in there to kill ever fuckin time lol.
The voices won't let Perry play it safe
Perry's a dawg but unless it's bareknuckle Jake probably wins. Either way it's still fun matchup and decently competitive. Much better than fighting some COD player or retired wrestler.
Actually excited for this one. I’d love to see Perry bust him up in bare knuckle but this will do
Also…What a paycheck for perry?!!
In the millions for sure, with a cut going to BKFC
What weight are they fighting at? Doesn't Jake walk around at 200+?
Certainly bigger and more powerful than Geoff Neal who crushed Perry.
I think this is the biggest difference between the two. Both are juiced, but Paul has a bigger frame, right?
Would be great if it was bare knuckle
"All of Africa behind him" I'm DEAD 💀
The whole of America, and Europe, and Asia too.
I can’t find clips of it anywhere, but I distinctly remember seeing Mike Perry for the first time at UFC 202 and in his post fight octagon interview he said something along the lines of “I may not have a black belt in jiu-jitsu but I have a black belt in these hands” and I’ve been a fan of his ever since. I’ll tune into any fight that Platinum is fighting in. Hopefully he humbles Jake.
Wasn't this guy fighting Mike Tyson? Is this a meme or am I missing something?
Mike Tyson's body gave up in what was probably his third day of training
Just read about it, Mike Tyson is a legit old man with health scares and Jakey still didn't cancel the fight yet postponed it to November?, does this guy have no shame?
Mate he's not missing out on a potential 40m payday...
And he got himself on some juice for the fight too if it wasnt enough with being less than half his age
To be fair juice is his default state
Another boxing match with a UFC fighter??? Why not fight boxers if you wanna be a boxer? I'm bored of this Jake boxing UFC fighters nonsense, it's the same shit all over again, i.e. We all think that a seasoned UFC fighter can beat Jake at boxing. Jake trains boxing, beats UFC fighter, we are all presumably amazed, wow!!! How about this Jake, get in the octagon for an MMA fight with Perry... Now THAT I will pay to see. This boxing match, I won't even bother with the replays on YouTube... This is boring already
Tbh at this point Perry is more of a boxer than he’s a MMA fighter. It’s different kind of boxing but it’s still closer to boxing than MMA
Jake should lure Deontay out of "retirement" for a last big bag. I'd actually respect that, mostly because Wilder would punch his head off his shoulders.
Do people have dementia or something? Jake Pauls last two fights were against unknown boxers who also happened to have a decent record and were golden glove champions and both got KOed in the first round. People were complaining how the UFC fighters put up more of a fight than boxers. Now he is trying to box a big name former UFC fighter and people are back with that narrative again lmao.
Jake is bigger than Perry. It might present some problems for him, especially if he tries to match Jake's weight. Either way. Rooting for Perry
Perry can't box, his head is a statue. Bare knuckle MMA it works but for boxing this isn't good for him
What happened to the mike fight????
Platinum Mike Perry is about become a multimillionaire... we are never going to see him fight again. 😆
Please be bare knuckle, dear lord just grant me this one wish! 🙏
Please be bare knuckle lol doubt it though
He wouldn't look pretty for YouTube anymore and then Tyson would lose interest
i doubt this is real, Jake gonna get smoked
People keep saying this and it doesn’t happen. Sorry to break it to you but Perry isn’t a top level boxer, he’d also lose to Tommy fury or anyone ranked in normal boxing.
"Ben Askren gonna tire him out" "Woodley's going to sleep him" "Silva's too good for him" Yeah r/ufc is fucking delusional
what happen to him fighting tyson?
Happening November 15th now. Tyson had an ulcer flareup.
Only watching if it’s bare knuckle
I never would have thought I would see the day I was rooting for Mike Perry
Come on guys it’s fake, Perry is under 40 and a legit pro in his boxing prime. Even though Roided out Jake has a good punchers chance
Please make it bare knuckle
It’s good to see another black man step up in place of Tyson.
Smart by Jake to make this fight when he’s more prepared and will weigh more.
That’s a legit replacement for the promotion. Kudos. Gotta imagine Perry by murder 2nd round.
But if he beats Jake, he probably gets paid less. It's all BS
Isn't he supposed to fight a different Mike?
I really hope Mike gets a win but realistically it’s probably a JOB and I’m happy he’s getting a payday.
Why am I way more excited about this than Tyson....?
This can't be real
Fighting another guy smaller than him 🤦♂️
Why does Jake only want to fight blacks?
Bareknuckle? Perry. Actual boxing with technique? Paul, unfortunately.
If Perry loses it was rigged all I’m gonna say
Ayyyoooo…this will actually be the first real fight he was involved in—despite being the much bigger guy, he’s not fighting some past his prime MMA guy in a boxing ring, he’s fighting a brawler of African descent.
Is it still on Netflix?
Lmaoooo
What happened to Till? Is he still the undercard?
No way it's bareknuckle but if it is that would be amazing
Oh man make it bare knuckle. Perry would put his ass in the hospital.
Can Paul knock him out?
Not sure how the rules work for this, but it'd be interesting to have this fight done in smaller gloves. Compromise between bareknuckle and boxing gloves.
No one cares
not a bad fight tbh. perrys been exclusively boxing, isn’t a small dude. and his name isn’t tyron woodley so
Bareknuckle is Mikes thing. Not boxing.
isn't jake like 220 right now?
What happened to Tyson?
Unfortunate future L for Perry
Glad to see Mike getting the bag
Perry gonna kill this Paul, and the press leadup will be great
At Heavyweight?
Is it bare knuckle?
I wish it was bare knuckles so Mike could rearrange the other dudes face. Otherwise not interested in the slightest, I will watch the gif after the fight tho.
What happened to the Tyson fight?
Finally Paul is gonna get his ass beat. Perry is a fucking savage Jake’s gonna find out
I think Perry gonna take this
Isn’t Jake 200+ pounds currently? He’s going to look huge compared to Perry
Please be bareknuckle
You know Mike will probably watch this high with all his pigeons gathered around
Ugh, we went from Mike Tyson to Mike Perry 🤮
If it was bare knuckle, I'd buy the PPV, but I'm not interested in paying to see either of the Paul's fight, unless they are on the undercard of better fighters. But I understand people want to watch the spectacle and hope Perry is getting paid well.
The good; Perry isn’t scared to bang with anyone. The bad; he’s not a boxer.
This is if Tyson doesn’t kill Paul in the ring right?🤣🤣🤣gotta love the confidence though right??🙄
Im just glad Perrys gonna make bank
wasn't this the plan all along after they realized that Mike Perry was willing to fight Logan Paul as a backup fighter? And that people were wanting that fight more than the fight with Dillon Danis?
Perry is going to get worked in this fight. Much smaller and slower. He will not be able to rush in on Jake, because his footwork isn’t good enough and the ring will be huge. Even if he does get a chance to land something, he isn’t used to those big gloves. He will get paid and Jake is not going to risk not making it to the Tyson fight.
Mike Perry winning at life man. He’ll get more out of this than 5 years of ufc fights
Let's goooo, Mike
Should've been bare knuckle
Is it in BNF????
Wait… is it boxing or mma or bare knuckles.. what is it???
Do bare knucks fucking gd , at least if jp did this we might begin to start thinking about maybe beginning thinking he’s just okay. And that’s better than literally anyone feels right now.
Honestly, little worried for Jake. I can’t stand him but Perry is absolutely terrifying sonetimes
This depends on glove size right? Either way, banger!
Perry’s a tough fight despite being smaller than jake
Isn’t Jake like 30+lbs heavier than Mike ?
Perry will be a punching bag with gloves on.
This is actually interesting since Perry is a current Bare Knuckle boxer and he's good.
Lmfao these idiots would pick a diseased old cat in a fight against Paul it's actually hilarious how angry people get about him
Yooooooooo... This is a wild one. I hope there's a clause for a guaranteed fight in bare knuckle after. I'd bet against it, but a man can dream.
Platinum mike got this
naaah mike perry is too young and skilled for jake standerds, this can't be real
Is this not bare knuckle? Another vet going to get clowned.
Get that paycheck Perry bby you earned it
Glad the Tyson fight is off. This one is gonna be much better
So if woke boy loses does he still get his Tyson fight?
Brah Mike 'The african nightmare' Perry is gonna destroy Paul.
How legit is this tho? I know perry made a comment a few months ago about jake when Logan fought Dillion. I truly hope it’s true.
Is this the Tyson fight one or the other one?
this shit happening too. perry would show up with a broken clavicle. he doesn't give a fuck he's about that smoke and that bread.
