While UFC fans love the sport and the fighters, they leave no opportunity to poke fun at them. Something similar happened with Mike Perry a while ago.

More than a year ago, the former UFC welterweight fighter wrote a Tweet that mentioned Britney Spears. He wrote, “I’m kinda like the @britnerspears of @ufc”.

Fans were, however, unhappy with him comparing himself to Spears. As a result, Twitter users unleashed their thoughts. A particular Twitter user instead compared him to singer Chris Brown.

In the past, there have been allegations of domestic violence against the fighter. As reported by ‘MMA Fighting‘, Mike Perry denied those allegations. Hence, the user posted a side-by-side picture of Perry and Brown.

Few other social media users took a similar jab at the fighter by using lyrics from Britney Spears’ song.

However, other users discussed the fighter’s UFC career in order to provide an argument as to why he and Spears were not alike.

Others wondered if the fighter was about to shave his head.

Thus, not a lot of people were happy with Mike Perry’s tweet, and the fighter had to bear the brunt of it.
