Mike Perry sure is an interesting character and he is a big-time fan favorite. Perry started out his UFC career on a very good note but now that he is on a two-fight skid, he knows he needs a change.

Mike recently became a father, and he revealed that helped him a lot to get a different perspective of life. Talking to Ariel Helwani from The MMA Hour, he said, “I like to think I have changed, but as soon as I do that, the anger is still there. It’s still there. It depends on the situationI feel more experienced in all types of situations. I’ve been through many ups and downs, lefts and rights.”

“And I’mma get a little philosophical, I guess, but as my bank account gets smaller, I find myself having more faith in God and just being grateful for everything that I do have. And it just seems more to me, like, the more I try, the more I need to just let go and relax and allow things to happen. And just be grateful and thank God for everything I’ve got.”

Perry is not doing so well career-wise, and as he moves into the last fight of his UFC contract, he says he is open to other options as well. He said, “I’m blessed in so many ways. I can take a hell of a punch, I can return a hell of a punch. And I just want to be better every day. I don’t want to shut any doors. So if the opportunity is there, if somebody wants to fight me, that’s it. I just want to fight. And I want to know what kind of fight I’m doing so I could prepare for it.”

He proclaimed, “Put me in the boxing ring and let me show you all what I can do. I’ll be prepared for any opportunity. Anybody who wants to fight me, I’m gonna put on a show. Somebody’s gonna bleed, motherf—rs gonna get cut open, and somebody might die.”
