If he loses to Gall he should get his walking papers. not that mickey isnt good, but 1-3 with your only win being a split decision and punching down at a rookie like gall isnt a good look. should he lose i think its safe to say the only thing about him thats ufc caliber is his mouth.
BruteDion - I like Perry but coming off a lose and calling guys out is not a good look.
.... what does Mike Perry do that you would categorize as a “good look” ?
How is Perrys TDD vs Galls takedowns?
Gall is small for 170 so I think Perry would do ok defending takedowns against him. Expect Perry to light him up on the feet.
I'd rather see Perry vs. someone like Magny personally.

Gall is not small for 170. I've rolled with Mickey and Cowboy. Mickey submits Perry easy on the ground if he can get there w/o taking too much damage. My money would be on Gall...easy.

This.
blas4ublasphemy - He wants a matching set of broken limbs?
Lol, no kidding. He's bigger, stronger and hits harder than Gall, but if it goes to the ground it's fucksville for Perry. And I like Mike, but he needs to fight a few non-ground experts first and regain some confidence.
Perry is this eras Baroni. I mean he beat a no trt Ellenberger & what else has he done?
Hes doesn’t look good most of the time & in most of his UFC fights. He’s not top 10 or 15.
Gall is a perfect test to see where he really is at because he failed almost all his big match up tests. Shouldn’t he get a fight to see where he even really is in the UFC

he dresses up as an indian chief pretty well
Strange call out. Why antagonize a lower ranked fighter who has a distinct advantage over him on the ground?
Fahqhard -jpm995 -Would seem to be a big step down for a guy who was close to the big time. Maybe his confidence is gone. He should be calling out top 10 guys.
That's what I was thinking. I would not call Mickey a top 20
Is Perry top 20? I think not.

yeah perry top 15, cowboy top 10 now at 170 i reckon. he should stay put.
Perry top 15!? I want whatever it is you’re smoking.
GaspareBJJ -How is Perrys TDD vs Galls takedowns?
According to Fightmetric, the only guy Mickey Gall has outstruck is CM Punk.
They say he averages 2.3 takedowns per 15 minutes (well, he's only gone 15 minutes once in 6 pro fights... he choked out everyone else), lands 66% of his takedown attempts and averages 5 sub attempts per 15 minutes.
Perry's takedown defense is 68%. Cowboy was the only fighter to ever finish Perry. Ponzinibbio took him down 3 times and the fight went to a decision (Perry lost).
Not sure if any of the above clarifies anything....
they should make the match .

The Immortal One -Very interesting fight
Gall wants to pick and choose his fights, let's see him choose this one. Someone dangerous on the feet
Mickey wants this fight. He’s ready to fight anyone in the division.

he sucks in the stand up and Perry sucks on the ground. Will be an interesting fight to say the least if they actually make it.
