If you keep it real you alrdeay know if this was Woodley telling his story haters would still be here criticizing the things he did and way he was brought up or the way he put it... If you on here talking bout woodley on a Mike perry interview you probly kno hate runs deep once its settled somewhere in your mind.

    @MrRemixV3 6 років тому +62

    Appreciate Mike's honesty, enjoy watching his fights but i some time's feel he talks the talk but never shows what he's talking about, thats my only issue with him (i guess that's MMA for ya). But it was nice getting to hear about his up bringing and his current thoughts on life in general, Mike's a solid dude 👍🏼👊🏼

    • @MN-zg7fi
      @MN-zg7fi 6 років тому +3

      Do you think the UFC rushed him into a top 10 fight too soon? I do. He's young, so a good wrestling or bjj coach will do him wonders. Until he can get better in those areas, the matchmakers have got to keep feeding him punching bags lol Ponzinibbio was a bit too experienced for him & he even got hit

    • @MrRemixV3
      @MrRemixV3 6 років тому +3

      Rudeboy Troy that could be a factor yes. But lets be real Mike talks really big about himself, so they tried to give him a big push which didn't work out. Mike's still in the learning stage of fighting, in roughly a year he should be legit top 10 quality imo. Good guy but his trash talking boosted him up too soon.

    • @gregoryretzepis1798
      @gregoryretzepis1798 6 років тому +1

      MrRemixV3 I think the fact that he has very brutal knockout power for his division has something to do with it. I don't think you've seen a Mike Perry highlight reel. More power in his hands than most welterweights.

    • @MN-zg7fi
      @MN-zg7fi 6 років тому +2

      I agree. But, for all his power he's still an MMA "freshman" (Ponzinibbio was a "Senior"). He needs to join a top team & get better coaches to teach him to refine that raw power. I think he still trains w/ his homies lol

    • @MrRemixV3
      @MrRemixV3 6 років тому +2

      Gregory Retzepis more power than Tyron Woodley? I didn't think so.

  • @clarity2115

    Never thought I had much in common with Mike Perry, but damn when he talked about 12 different schools, always moving... that's my life. Even now I live abroad and can't stop moving... how much of a difference Mike Perry would have if he had positive role models and guidance growing up.

    This was such an amazing interview. I'm so happy to hear him grow as a person. His comments about his relationship with his father was heartbreaking. In the absence of parental guidance to offer structure, support, and love, he learned life lessons by experiencing the harsher punishments that life can offer.

    Damn, relate to this guy so much. My parents used to move me around so much and was terrified of my abusive dad.

    Mike is destined for greatness. I'm so happy he saw the flaws of that structured religious BS and a very very flawed ideal. Feels great to think for yourself and to understand how powerful yourself is. Not to live in fear of a god so that man can benefit. Stay blessed Mike

    We all knew he was troubled, but never did we expect to be here today in 2021, and although Dana White still likes him, and some of us enjoy the memories, what a wild ride he put himself on. Paranoid, misguided, angry...has made a fool of himself outside the ring... Much respect when it comes to that fighting heart, Mike. You seemed to be in a good place here, but we are in a different place now, a much worse place, but you have a real family now. Get yourself together, stop calling people "n" words, escape your upbringing, and grow up, because if this is how you remain, this is who your child will admire. I love the memories. Thank you.
