Mike Perry admits he got out-grappled by Cerrone in sparring, but ‘he’s so easy for me to punch in the face’

When Mike Perry’s bout with Donald Cerrone was announced, it seemed like just another in a steady string of fun action fights for ‘Platinum.’ Perry has quickly made a name for himself in the UFC with a series of back-and-forth brawls and highlight reel KOs. But, his fight with ‘Cowboy’ appears to be carrying some secondary significance as well.

Perry recently made the move from his training grounds in Florida out to one of MMA’s most high profile super-camps, Team Jackson-Winkeljohn in Albuquerque, NM. The legendary fight camp has played host to numerous notable UFC talents over the years, with Cerrone among them.
