John E. Dynamite Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 I can't help but fantasy book a years-long feuid in which Mike Perry usurups Donald Cerrone as King Stupid Hick of the UFC (fans notwithstanding). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elsalvajeloco Posted April 23, 2017 Author Share Posted April 23, 2017 Considering how he first was when WEC finally folded into the UFC, Cerrone is a damn angel. If you watched the official UFC pre fight interviews like I did back when they were regularly on Youtube and UFC.com, he was always on 10. He was just really volatile. Jeremy Stephens was the same way. Even though the UFC didn't enforce their behavioral policy back then, they always were on the cusp of getting trouble, running afoul of the wrong person, and saying the absolute wrong thing on social media. When the UFC started making examples of certain people, I think it became abundantly clear that this isn't the wild, wild West of MMA that both started their career in. You can probably get away w/ some stuff now, but there is no guarantee you will keep your job afterwards. So if you're someone like Mike Perry, it would be wise to keep doing stuff like he did last night (because he does come off as likable to the fans in combo w/ his fighting style) and try his best to avoid crossing any line.

Like this line? Not to dig up old dirt but all that stuff happened around two or three years ago. Before the Reebok deal but after Fox and after the Miguel Torres/Forrest Griffin rape-joke-a-palooza.

Reveal hidden contents He wasn't even in the UFC at that point so if they don't dig through his social media history, then it's not that important.
