Mike Perry might have fallen short of a Fight of the Night bonus against Mickey Gall at UFC on ESPN 12, but ‘Platinum’ ought to earn a considerable bonus for his memorable post-fight interview with Jon Anik.
Perry, who beat Gall via unanimous decision with no professional coaches in his corner, channelled his inner Murray Rothbard and Lysander Spooner at the UFC APEX facility in Las Vegas, where he told the federal government to stop taking so much of his money.
The 28-year-old said he has paid out over a hundred thousand dollars in taxes over the last year and thinks many fighters have their priorities wrong when it comes to fighter pay.
