Mike Perry on Jeremy Stephens’ Request for Struggle
Mike Perry presently competes at each middleweight and light-weight heavyweight. He instructed MMAFighting that he isn’t eager on chopping right down to battle Jeremy Stephens.
“These guys, man,” Perry instructed MMA Combating. “These little guys wish to name me out and be like, ‘Minimize right down to 165 or 170 kilos.’ Jeremy even mentioned it on the JAXXON podcast, he’s like, make him minimize to 170, after which put the burden clauses on [so] that I can solely achieve 10 % after I weigh in. So meaning I wouldn’t be allowed to recover from 190 after weighing in at 170 — if I may even make 170 after I simply had a battle, I attempted to make 200.
“I believe 185 is a superb weight class for me. There’s a number of motion at that weight class. If you’d like me to face a sure kind of striker, I want that weight below me to place the stress on them and hit them exhausting with these little fingers, man, like I did to the opposite guys at 185. I imply, I took the naked the perfect naked knuckle boxer there was previous to myself being Thiago Alves. He comes again for the battle after had a few naked knuckle [wins], however we had by no means seen anybody dominate him.”
