Mike Perry Shares a Softer Side to his Personality When Talking About His Five-Month-Old Son- Ocean Perry

UFC welterweight Mike Perry spoke to Helen Yee down in Miami and went over his future in the world of combat. However, Perry was joined by his five-month-old son, Ocean, who was the immediate focal point of the interview. As the conversation between Mike Perry and Helen Yee kicked off, ‘Platinum’ Mike couldn’t help but blush over his newborn son.

Many attributed Mike Perry’s positive change in demeanor to be a byproduct of his marriage and the birth of his son. Mike Perry himself has openly spoken about the way in which the direction of his life changed after the arrival of Ocean. When talking to Helen Yee about his son, Mike Perry’s softer side was on full display.

“That’s my little dude. I got to watch his back. I know what it’s like to not have anybody be there to watch your back and when you got somebody like me watching your back, I mean, you’re good. You’re taken care of. That’s what I try to do, that’s my job as a daddy, I’m the provider and I got to make sure that he’s doing alright.”

Not too long ago, it seemed as though Perry kept getting into trouble with concerning news constantly making the headlines. When news broke of a fight between Perry and a restaurant patron, things looked dire. However, it seems as though his troubles on that forefront are a thing of the past.
