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.
