Mike Perry's move to scrap his corner crew for his girlfriend worked, and fans loved it

UFC fighters generally have a whole crew of cornermen backing them each time they step into the Octagon.

On Saturday, Mike Perry broke from the trend — and it seemed to work out extremely well.

Perry, during his bout against Mickey Gall on Saturday night at the UFC Apex facility in Las Vegas, just brought his girlfriend along with him to work in his corner.

The decision, though strange, was extremely entertaining to watch play out between rounds.

The corner was strangely quiet, with just his girlfriend, Latory Gonzalez, giving him advice and icing his back and neck.
