Mike Perry, a.k.a ‘Platinum’ has had quite an interesting run in his UFC career. He presently has a record of 14-8-0 and last competed in the UFC in 2021, where he lost the fight to Daniel Rodriguez and made his debut in BKFC in the same year. Perry recently appeared in Brendan Schaub’s podcast and talked about his fights, ethnicity, and much more.

During his conversation with Brendan Schaub on the Thiccc Boy podcast, Perry revealed some really interesting details about his ethnicity. It took a minute for Schaub to absorb the information as the discussion proceeded ahead.

Mike Perry is a complete man

“You are what you believe yourself to be.” This famous quote by Brazilian author, Paulo Coelho aptly suits Mike Perry. When Schaub asked Perry about his ethnicity, Perry had quite a comprehensive response to it. He said, “Man, if you didn’t know man, I am everything. My son is Mexican, so I’m Mexican.” Brendan Schaub appeared to be a little perplexed at first on hearing that. However, Perry further elaborated on his response.
