Mike Perry to UFC? Manager Claims ‘They’re Asking for Him Back’ with Jake Paul KO

Paul Goes "Platinum"

It wasn't the Mike he was preparing for, but it's the one Paul got after his original opponent Mike Tyson fell through ahead of their July 20 meeting on Netflix due to an ulcer flareup. Paul wouldn't wait until their rescheduled date of Nov. 15, instead fighting again on Perry's home turf of Tampa, Florida.

Perry, while not the most accomplished fighter Paul has faced, is arguably the toughest test of the 27 year-old's career thus far. The ex-UFC star reached new heights as a bare-knuckle boxer, going a perfect 5-0 in the BKFC against the likes of former world champs Luke Rockhold and Eddie Alvarez to become the promotion's inaugural 'King of Violence'.

From YouTube to Disney to the boxing ring, Paul has also made a career of beating UFC fighters and a few traditional boxers along the way. Paul (9-1) has wins over Ben Askren, Tyron Woodley (2x), Anderson Silva and Nate Diaz, with Perry aiming to be the first ex-UFC star to say that he defeated Paul.
