Mike Perry has strongly criticized those who have questioned his victory over Nate Diaz at MVP MMA last weekend.
The fight concluded when Nate Diaz’s corner decided not to allow him to continue into the third round. Diaz was visibly bleeding heavily from his head, to the extent that he himself admitted his vision was impaired. This outcome led to some questioning the legitimacy of Perry’s win.
Perry, competing in mixed martial arts for the first time in five years, put on a strong performance. He showcased versatility in his fighting but was aware that Diaz’s resilience meant the fight could have gone the distance if Perry hadn’t inflicted enough damage to secure a stoppage.
Addressing his detractors on Twitter, Mike Perry stated:
“Leon was just Champion, Nate just almost knocked him in the 4th and 5th of their fight, the fact it went that far is just not gonna happen with the energy I’m bringing. We don’t get praised with a post when we pass our drug tests which we were tested, that was all sacrifice. You can’t take it from me. Before the fight it was “not sure” and “Nate looks better than he has in years” bunch of shameless people saying this and that you guys spew garbage and I hope that’s where you’re headed.
“Sit at home eating cake everyday but I’ll go back to the gym and maybe I’ll bleed more next time, maybe I have another smash hit. At least I’ll be working for something. The real fans who know what we go through, what we put into this, what our families and close friends go through to help us. Only God can make those connections and that’s what makes it alll so special.
“Signed, The King.”
The future of “Platinum” Perry remains to be seen.
