Mike Perry vs. Anthony Pettis? “Platinum” Wants It
While Mike Perry called out UFC mega star Conor McGregor during his post-fight interview, it’s clear that such a fight won’t be happening anytime soon. As far as a more realistic option is concerned, Perry took to the BKFC 56 post-fight press conference to lay out the challenge to Anthony Pettis (via MMAJunkie.com).
“One name that did come to mind that I did mention before I fought Alvarez was Anthony Pettis,” Perry said. “I think that’s an amazing fight.
“He just beat Roy Jones Jr. in a boxing match. I think he’s intrigued by the bare knuckle aspect. I had fun with Eddie, but it happened exactly how I said it was going to happen. I posted that Kimbo Slice picture of that backyard fight, and what did he say? ‘You have to hit me. Come on.’ Once he hit me, then I started moving, and he stopped hitting me and by the end of the second, what happened? He got busted up worse than I did.”
Perry went on to say if he can’t get the Pettis fight, then his next dance partner has to have a solid following and the ability to draw interest in their matchup. “Platinum” said he isn’t interested in being the only one to sell his next fight.
