Mike Perry will now opt for an unconventional method of fighting. He will no longer have a coach or a team in his corner.

Welterweight contender Mike Perry is currently facing a really rough patch in his career. He has lost 3 of his last 4 fights. During all these contests he took to a conventional route and trained with a gym such as Fusion XL Academy in Florida.

But now Perry has decided to change things up a bit. He is no longer a part of any gym and has decided to work alone. He doesn’t see any use in a coach telling him what to do and giving him advice when they’re not the one actually competing.

Speaking with MMA Junkie Mike Perry said all he wants in his corner is his girlfriend. He said, “My girlfriend, just her. If not, her and her friend.”

“I’m not listening to any coaches right now. Coaches who are saying things that they ain’t gonna go in there and do. They want it to be this way or this way, and like it’s a totally different way. I need a guy like me to hold mitts; I want to hold mitts for myself, to be honest with you. I can show people a couple of techniques or whatever, and I’m just ready to fight for my life. … Ain’t nobody gonna take this from me.”

Mike Perry says he doesn’t need a coach

Mike Perry wants to try the singular approach. The self-help route. He said, “All I need the corner for is to pass me the bottle of water. Wipe my head off or put the ice on my neck when I get hot coming in between the rounds. It’s probably not gonna go more than five minutes, and if it does, all I need is a bottle of water. I need to sip a drink, put some ice on my neck, and I don’t need no advice.”

“I feel like I never really gotten advice. I feel like people just sound like Charlie Brown’s teacher in the corner. … They don’t even know what the (expletive) to say because they wouldn’t go in there and do what the (expletive) they’re talking about. I don’t really know how the coaching (expletive) works. It doesn’t really matter.”

Perry’s last outing was in December where he suffered a first-round stoppage at the hands of Geoff Neal. But Perry is over this loss and wants to make a return to the octagon as soon as possible.
