So I have posted this once before but it was deleted by whom I believe to be the culprit. The gentleman in question is Chris "The Italian Ghost" Perry from Coral Springs, Florida. Here are a couple of the stories:
- Is 17-1 with a 17 fight knockout streak with two opponents being Nate Diaz and Tito Ortiz. (This means he has knocked out one of those 2 guys...oh yeah he is about 6'1" and around 210 lbs.; how he is fighting at 155 as well as 205 is beyond me).
- Fought for Strikeforce and is in negotiations with the UFC.
- About 2 months ago was getting dressed up to go speak with representatives from EliteXC to discuss a contract; he apparently didn't realize that they were defunct as of 2009.
- Strong ties with Kimbo Slice as well as ATT.
Now I am not doubting the fact that he ever fought, trains, or his associations, however; I cannot find a single shred of evidence that he has ever had a sanctioned bout, amateur or professional. When confronted he became very upset and offered to fight me. I simply replied with the fact that I'm not calling him a liar, I just simply cannot find any record of him having a sanctioned bout...that went well to say the least. Anyways; any information would be much appreciated fellas!
In early.

All of the information OP seems to be talking about are on topix. Some links:
1. Individual named Sal from Pompano Beach discusses Chris' time in the UFC
http://www.topix.com/forum/nyc/TJ3OC2E0PLLOHRD46
2. A poster claiming to be ATT discusses how Perry is training at all (?) ATT locations. (Must travel a lot)
http://www.topix.com/forum/nyc/TCCCREB3DCTNN705N
3. A poster calling themselves MMA News discusses Chris' attempt to regain his fame, and refers to the UFC under a post entitled "17 Straight Knockouts". (This was really poorly written)
http://www.topix.com/forum/state/ca/T4D6JAGIC0Q50PERK
4. This one makes no outlandish claims, other than the fact that Perry was set to compete in an event that was cancelled due to Hurricane Irene.

5. This is a bit more extensive, with discussion between 3 different parties about Perry and a possible contract with the UFC.

6. And here is where I call troll:
"The Italian Ghost former United States Marine fought 10 years in Iraq. Part of a Special Forces team that was on the ground close to Iraq on 9-11-2001. The Italian Ghost was a Sniper. Then last couple years he has been fighting as a amateur fighter. The last 9 months The Italian Ghost has been training and fighting out of Miami Florida. His recent fight at the Hard Rock Casino in Hollywood Florida he won 100,000 dollars. He gave it all to the 911 victim fund. That's awesome"

I searched both Sherdog and this database for a fighter by the name Chris Perry, and sherdog yielded only one result:

mma.tv yielded one as well:

Not finding many sources outside of topix, but this was only a cursory search
