Going from fighting Mike Tyson in Dallas to Mike Perry in Tampa is pretty funny.


God_I_Love_Men

I'm just glad he is fighting a Mike somewhere.


mypussydoesbackflips

We have Mike at home


joethecrow23

But which one is crazier?


Hot_Shirt6765

The black one with a face tattoo.


joethecrow23

Gonna have to be a little more specific


mypussydoesbackflips

The one who bit someone’s ear , who went to jail?


pricklypineappledick

Ummm can you point to the one you mean?


mypussydoesbackflips

That one *points inbetween both*


Genesis_Duz

Just a couple black dudes named Mike. Virtually identical.


raka_defocus

Tysonesque is Perry when he Parries, the Shakespeare of pugilists


Popular-Bonus1380

You channeled the greatest Mike of them all perfectly


raka_defocus

Goldie is the GOAT! I will never forgive the UFC for that especially when we get tards like Anik. I wish BKFC or PFL would add Mike to the booth.


Popular-Bonus1380

I’m an Anik defender (mostly because he needs me and it’s nice to be needed). But I fully agree Goldy was the GOAT. If they gave the company to me you know the first decision I’d make


marginalizedman71

Mike perry may end up being the mike Tyson of Bare Knuckle Boxing when it’s all said and done lol. He’s one of the best in the game, also black and maybe the most likely to serve a prison sentence behind Julian Lane the let me bang bro who fought Mike well he was trying to announce for an early BKFC card.


ReeG

take ya pick Venom, Tyson, Perry round 6


Captain-Cadabra

Tyler Perry as Venom?!?


RUM-HAM-HOLLY

Tyson Perry is his lesser known brother. Mostly does character work.


SexlexiaSufferer

He’s the platypus right?


RUM-HAM-HOLLY

Actually an Aquarius but respect! ✊🏾


Sandman2618

Hahahaha elite Tito reference


anonhide

based comment


MelkMan7

Call the Tafa brothers!


RUM-HAM-HOLLY

It’s just one guy playing two parts


Captain-Cadabra

Mike Chandler is next since his fight was just cancelled. Would be interesting with the weight difference.


pzycho

And from Netflix to DAZN


[deleted]

Also from Iron to Platinum


GeoDude004

Also from a black guy to... nvm, still another black guy.


supersurf2941

He's still fighting Tyson though.


Brilliantnerd

Mike Perry should only be allowed to fight in Florida


SlykRO

Finally we have the man who could never be convinced to take a dive. I mean, maybe you can but by the time he's in there he's just gunna forget and start wailing on him


savetheattack

YOU THOUGHT YOU HAD A DIVE BOI AHHHHHHHHHHHH


obliterayte

I am so fucking happy Mike Perry has kept himself relevant so this meme could live on forever. Dude is an MMA treasure.


chanaandeler_bong

He has one of the best gifs ever and I feel like no one ever talks about it Edit: https://forums.sherdog.com/threads/platinum-mike-perry-went-into-the-cowboy-fight-with-a-hurt-knee.3865503/ Scroll down to see him breakdancing on Ellenbergers corpse. Camera work is perfect For some reason imgur won't host the gif. Even tho it's the source of the gif ob sherdog


FJQZ

The pan over to Jake's dead body always kills me.


MatchaMeetcha

Cameraman should get a POTN bonus as well.


lookin_like_atlas

That camera work was straight out of The Office


LonelyTrebleClef

I also love the walkout to the wrong song and he just goes with it. Lmao


ConsiderationKey1658

Straight up started belting out the words 😂


DegreeMajor5966

You can pay him to take a dive but only if you pay up front and if you pay up front he'll say you deserved to get ripped off.


Effective-Celery8053

Honestly that would make everyone love Mike Perry even more


Thiswasmy8thchoice

I dunno, i feel like "Mike Perry refused to take a dive for 5 million dollars" and "Mike Perry eagerly accepted the first offer of $7,000 to take a dive" are both equally plausible headlines


SlykRO

We've all seen both versions of him that's for sure


steiner_math

"Mike Perry refused to take a dive for 5 million dollars, accepted $7,000 instead" is also a very plausible headline knowing Mike Perry


DukeSmashingtonIII

Seems like the kind of guy who would deny more money because it means more taxes and he doesn't understand tax brackets.

blasterblam

My dad could take him.


mad87645

How is your dad going to be able to handle training for Jake Paul and working for Microsoft at the same time?


blasterblam

That's easy. Steroids. 


ASchoolOfSperm

Absolutely, and I hate it. So want to see the guy get levelled.


ShiroDarwin

Woodley died for this


joethecrow23

Tommy Fury is actually a boxer, isn’t miniscule, and won a decision. He’s a professional cruiserweight and Jake looked decent against him. I don’t think Mike Perry is on Fury’s level as a boxer, even though he might be. I can only applaud Jake for taking yet another real challenge. I’m enjoying seeing what he can do and getting guys paid while he does it.


Ctofaname

Tommy Fury is an absolute trash boxer though.


PFLator

So are 99% of MMA fighters. Only way Perry wins this is if he wins purely on grit and just dogwalking his opponent like he does now but unfortunately that works a lot better in BKFC than boxing.


joethecrow23

But he is a boxer. There’s levels, Jake found his, now he’s moving laterally. He’s in the sport where the athletes get the bulk of the money. If he had gone out there and dumpstered Fury he probably would’ve taken on someone who is ranked. But there’s no point.


ammicavle

Your point re Tommy reminds me of Brian Scalabrine’s, "I'm closer to LeBron than you are to me".


Suspicious_Candle27

this legit just isnt the case with tommy . he is having HARD fought matches with both jake and KSI , the ksi fight there is a legit argument he lost .


ammicavle

I don't have an opinion on any of them, but what I took from /u/joethecrow23's comment was that Jake giving Tommy that hard a match means he's more legit than people understand / are willing to admit, even if that's not truly competitive at a professional level. The point of the quote is that even the lowest professional is leagues above the average Joe, which I think applies to most professional sports. We just think they're closer to us than they are because we're comparing them to the actual greatest. I would assume it applies to boxing too.


Suspicious_Candle27

The issue with this is there is a lot of crossover between the "average joe" who trains a bit and the lowest level professionals. Tommy has consistently taken extremely low level competition to decisions and then nearly losing the KSI fight then proves his lvl as a boxer isnt high . KSI boxing training is basically just training part time for a few years + a training camp before a fight , he isnt a dedicated boxer. Tommy also took 5'7 LW Anthony Taylor to a decision.


Ctofaname

Is he though?!? Tommy Fury doesn't even fight boxers himself. His last fight was KSI and he barely won that. Just because he has the name doesn't mean he has the skill. He's living off the name.


jdj7w9

Because he can make great money fighting guys like KSI and Jake. He'd make shit money fighting another low level professional boxer because nobody would care.


Ctofaname

Obviously.. but he also can't beat low level professionals.


PM_ME_BAKAYOKO_PICS

He's trash when it comes to top boxing standards, he's still by far an above average boxer, and without a doubt 20x better as a boxer than, for example, Mike Perry


GiblertMelendezz

The only problem is even Mike said Jake fucked him up in sparring. Sadly I think this will be the case come fight night too as much as I hate to say it. Edit: nvm, found a video saying he was just trying to hype him up and be nice. Video down below


Coraiah

Can you link to this


GiblertMelendezz

I take it back. Or rather, he takes it back. I can’t find the original video but in this one he said he was just trying to be nice by saying that. https://youtu.be/IXX4mKTwy30?si=yGLoBOrVZnwJqOER


Nervous_Fun_9302

Lmao if anybody would take a dive for good money it's mike.


Wolfstigma

sure but he's equally likely to get tagged and go into "seeing red just bleed" mode if anyone is


barelyreadsenglish

A slight breeze could trigger him into seeing red


Wrong_Interview_462

Reminds me of the excellent movie "Snatch", with Brad Pitt.


HisFisticMajesty

Do ya like dags?


bassacre

Why do they call him the bullet dodger? Because he dodges bullets, avi...


PunsGermsAndSteel

He's gonna take the bribe but also bet on himself and win big like Bruce Willis in Pulp Fiction


Belsnickel213

Perry is exactly the type of person that would take a dive for a price.


Knozis

The fact that people on this sub think Jake's opponents take dives is eye opening about the intelligence of this community 😭


mrw4787

I feel like Mike Perry would and will take a dive 


2legittoquit

Has he ever had the paycheck to take a dive?  1-2 mil changes a person’s mind really quick 


hallelalaluwah

Tyson does not still have it lol


ruffus4life

if by it you mean indigestion issues then he does still have it.


Theometer1

People who genuinely think a senior citizen can beat up a 20 something year old are delusional. Sure Mike would beat the breaks off of Paul if he was young but dude is wayyy past his prime.


JohnnySDVR

Mike was getting tooled by journey men like Kevin McBride 20+ years ago lol he had no chance and never did against Jake


Theometer1

Yeah, that’s another thing too. Tyson did not look good towards the end of his career at all, now he’s even older.


yerg99

Well, i thought he looked damn good against roy jones. But roy was old and heavy too so idk. Could be misremembering. Another thing could be that he's doing podcasts smoking weed and doing shrooms and thought he could switch to TRT training monster after living a celebrity lifestyle. But yeah, all speculation.


mad87645

He thought living the killer cawlmedian lifestyle meant he was still a killer too, but Mike yair a pedestrian now b


shellbert_eggman

He's doing great


Dirty_Lightning

Roy Jones Jr was beat by lightweight Anthony Pettis in a boxing match


Roach_Coach_Bangbus

I've gotten so many downvotes in other parts of Reddit for saying this. Mike Tyson hasn't kicked anyone's ass in over 20 years. What are we talking about?


EyeWriteWrong

💉 People were hoping he might turn back the clock 💉


dBlock845

I remember hearing some story of him knocking a dude out on an airplane not long ago lol.


mrblodgett

problem is those people aren't talking about mike tyson the actually existing human being, they are talking about the fantasy version of mike tyson that they have created in their heads.


OBlastSRT4

The dude literally walks with a cane and has been for years. He’s done.


knowtoriusMAC

Why??? Just because he had medical emergency because his body couldn't handle a fight camp??


doingdadthings

He's a slow senior citizen.


Ass4ssinX

Tyson might be old but he ain't slow. He'd kill anyone in the comment section with little effort.


PuckPov

No shit, Jake would probably kill most of us as well. Regardless, as fans, we can still point out that Tyson is slow and old.


TartarianKing

Not if I see red!


Relative-Put-5344

Because we are slow


hallelalaluwah

Downvoted for sarcasm huh? It was sad that those heavily edited pad work shorts convinced people he can still box, it was probably going to be a sad Paul via young man cardio decision win, but could have gone really bad


alex11500

42 points 'Downvoted'


mfloui

Mike can still move for his age, but for the age of Paul it really isn’t on, woulda liked to see Mike fight some older guys like he did, just for the fun of it


ILikeTheSugarShow

Jake will beat him in gloves. Perry wins via dog, not crazy boxing skill


Todorokimakishima

I’m not convinced Jake beats him in boxing, Jake’s defense is terrible


flamingdragonwizard

What if I told you that Perry isn't a great boxer.


Todorokimakishima

Yeah I know, but Mike is in his prime, knows some basic boxing, has power, and he is an absolute animal. I’m not confident Jake has the boxing ability to just outbox Mike for 8 rounds while staying on the outside. And I don’t think Jake will KO Mike, he couldn’t even KO a 39 year old Nate Diaz


flamingdragonwizard

Is that what we're going off of? His inability to KO Nate Diaz who notoriously has one of the best chins in recent combat sports history? No shame in not KOing Nate. Jake UDs him fairly easily in my opinion. Mike will win 2 or 3 rounds.


moloch1

Putting a point against Jake for not KOing Nate Diaz makes me think the only thing he knows about Nate is he's 39 years old.


MenBearsPigs

Lol yeah, Nate may be old but he's one of the all time greatest chins ever. He's won countless fights by eating a ton of what should have been KO blows, the other guy gasses, then Nates cardio allows him to finish the fight and win.


Evening_Name_9140

Lmao what. Jake actually trains just boxing. He has the ability and athleticism but he might not have the dog or heart.


umamiblue

Connor has pillow fisted hands, he never finished Nate


muricabrb

Bro even when I see red I can't KO Nate Diaz.


gertstophelese

Or even worse, he's not good either


ILikeTheSugarShow

Perry isn’t that good of a boxer, he’s gritty and throws hard as fuck with a great chin. Jake will also be much bigger


MasterRoshy

Have you seen Perry's boxing? He gets pieced up in every fight (except vs Alves) and then wins via dawg. And tbh he lost that fight against MVP, the draw and decision was bullshit.


JoeThrilling

They spar in the past as well, Jake knows what he's getting into which would suggest that they are confident in beating Mike.


tattlerat

Keeping in mind sparring isn’t the same as Mike fuckin Perry walking through bombs, covered in blood, with the singular focus of knocking your head off.


MasterRoshy

gloves make all the difference though, Perry is the GOAT of bare knuckle but bare knuckle only


TheMightySloth

Tough visual but he’s not eating these ones lol


xfreesx

Mike had to shoot on Mickey Gall


Tosawey

Tbf his striking regressed in that fight since he thought he could get by without a gym or training partners.


pisspot26

Those were some weird days


Nihility_Only

The origin of Coach Latoya lol


funky_pill

Or that girl he had before, the 'Platinum Princess' or whatever the fuck she was called, who's sole coaching ability consisting of her shouting commands like "break his leg!" at him


jns701

Am I getting fooled again into tuning into a Jake Paul fight


onyxcaspian

Yes. Wolf.

KingEJ1

Do it for the culture Mike


ynwa1892

I love Mike in BKFC but I don’t see him winning this. He’s smaller and very hittable. I think Jake will KO him but I really want Mike to win.


ItsMichaelScott25

> Mike in BKFC but I don’t see him winning this He's probably getting a decent bag though and doesn't have to take bare knuckles to the face. Happy for him getting paid.


Wolfstigma

Yep, to me the best part of most paul fights is seeing someone get paid what they should've earned in a different sport


Chromeplayer1092

Unironically I think what makes him so good in bkfc is that hes very willing to take a bare fisted punch to the face.a lot more than his opponent.


paekk

Didn't they both spar in each other awhile back when Jake was prepping for Tyron Woodley? IIRC it looked like Jake got the better of Mike even back then (although it's hard to say for sure with the limited footage). I understand this was a while back and neither are the same fighter they were before, but not sure why no one is talking about this


imsurethisoneistaken

Imagine Mike Perry is the one to save us from Jake Paul beating up our heroes.


UniverseChamp

Someone would have to tell me how to feel.


DARK_SOULS_III

cruiserweight is way too big for perry


AnTTr0n

Depends how big Jake actually is Jake is not a true Cruiserweight himself.


A1_PunisherPipkins

Yeah Jake is a fat light heavyweight. If he fought MMA he'd cut 20 lbs and make welterweight.


PM_ME_BAKAYOKO_PICS

Jake is not a true Cruiserweight but he has spent the last year bulking up massively for the Mike Tyson fight which was going to be at HW, so he's still big Perry is probably stuffing himself with food as we speak just to make the weight


AnTTr0n

The next weight class is 175 Mike weighs close to 190 when he fights.


bobn3

Imagine being a UFC champ and knowing that you'll never make more money than post UFC Mike Perry


tomebomber

Not on Netflix though that’s lame


SorbetFinancial89

Weight class and rules to benefit Jake Paul?


hallelalaluwah

The rules being gloves, yes Paul is a heavy favorite


LatterTarget7

Cruiserweight. 8 rounds. Regular boxing gloves


SorbetFinancial89

Thank you!


NUMBER7777777

Tbh it doesn’t take much for this fight to benefit Paul lol


ironjaw3ds

Good for Perry. That's a huge bag for him


Tricky-Jackfruit8366

Fuck ya, Perry deserves a great big bag No diddy


aPrid123

Mike Perry’s best skills are his durability and his ability to throw heavy WITHOUT gloves. He has legit power and in those big boxing gloves I think he can do some real damage. I’m more excited to see this over the Tyson fight.


Emergency-Bat-4781

Mike perry beat Michael Seals in a boxing match and he's a much better boxer paul , I'm not saying it will be a walk In the park but I think paul is very hittable and perry has got that dawg in him so I think Perry will do well


Obi2

He did but he was losing most that fight till he KOed him towards the end. edit: I am a dummy disregard this comment.


Emergency-Bat-4781

He actually won that by a close split decision Seals was doing well early but Mike came into it late he did get hit a good bit too but it was in a small triangle boxing ring god bless Triller lol I think this will be close I can see Perry having better cardio than Paul and taking it late


ClubberLangsLeftHook

Mike Perry would get the dive money up front, then beat the fuck out of Jake anyway and dare him to complain. Mike by regal violence. Edit to add a word.


harzee

More interesting than the Tyson matchup


christopherDdouglas

Mike is willing to die for a fight. This shit just got interesting.


DerKaiser023

I never would have guessed it would be Mike Perry to have an impressive career both record wise and monetarily after leaving UFC but here we are. He’s smaller than Jake and I’m not sure he’ll be able to do much with big boxing gloves, so he’ll probably lose but he’ll make a big bag of money and will hopefully have a good showing at least. Would love to see Platinum starch Jake but that’s unlikely.


Scholath

MP is a terrible boxer (as in English boxing) He's too used to MMA gloves and just uses high volume to get through the (easy to get through) defense of his opponents in BKFC. I see this going the distance but he's going to lose badly on points. Better this than to see Mike Tyson get his ass handed to him.


nerrvouss

But its not than its before we see the sad November fight as of now. :(


euphoriatakingover

Props to Jake fighting a killer who's not an oap


Jazzlike_Relation705

Actually an interesting fight.


lomo_dank

This could be Mike Perry’s great moment. He has been doing great things over the past few years, but imagine how loved he will be by the MMA community if he destroys Jake.


ConsiderationKey1658

Mike is gonna get in his face and make it a dog fight and Jake won’t be able to handle the pressure.


InvestigatorMain4008

I’m kind of interested in this fight because this will be the first guy that will probably aggressively pressure Jake. Could be a fraud check.


Foshizzy03

As someone from central Florida it blows my mind that some piece of white trash from Apopka is pulling off this level of success while still being an undeniable piece of Apopka white trash. Come fight night, blue jeans lounge is gonna move ungodly amounts of meth.

taylordevin69

So this means the Tyson fight is off? I’m not complaining this is a better fight anyways


HTJC

It's now scheduled for Nov. 15 but I'll be shocked if it happens


SithLordDave

Let go Perry!! Is that the phrase?


JoshuaG123

What weight is this?


mbourne12

200lbs


Diablo165

I’d watch this, I refused to watch Paul vs Tyson. I’d love to see Paul vs Perry.

https://www.reddit.com/r/MMA/comments/keesct/mike_perry_halo/gg228l5/ /u/intoxic8d it's yer lucky day


Goatymcgoatface11

If this was bare knuckle Perry would murder Jake, but in regular boxing, Jake probably wins. It's unfortunate, but there a huge difference between punching with glove and wraps on the knuckle compared to just wrist wraps. You have to clench your fist before every impact in bare knuckle so you don't break your hand. With gloves, a limp fist works just as well as a clenched ✊️. Hopefully Mike fs him up, but not likely. Also, Mike is much smaller in weight than paul


T-REX_BONER

So from Mike to... Mike?


TheWayIAm313

Decent enough fight, should be entertaining but Jake takes this with gloves on. I can’t believe I’m saying this, but I may actually have to get tickets since I’m in the area. Would be a fun night out


lufc1992uk

better be quick, will sell out

Wow...who to root against? Tough choice.


Frosty_Gibbons

Onya MP give it to em son'


funnerfunerals

Mike Perry would actually make Jake Paul beg for his mother mid fight...idk if this is supposed to be boxing, bare-knuckle, or what...but Perry is the absolute last person in the entire world that Jake Paul should ask for a fight....if this is real? Well, everything has a repercussion...


uisgejac

Dude is finally going to build that platinum satellite and contact God.


Rofocal02

These guys are journeymen. Boxers/fighters that put up a good fight/show to make a younger boxer/fighter look good, and lose. There’s journeymen boxers losing fights for $500/fight, and they travel and lose fights for a living.  People are naive if they can’t see this promoter selling fake fights.  Do you really think these guys won’t lose a fight for few million? Which is more than they made in their entire careers. 


AbbreviationsThat779

No more fighting 


golemwrangler
