“I saw this coming in the last several months with Mike Perry. All you have to do is watch his interviews, watch the way he’s interacted with you guys.

“He’s literally said I hate all of you. I hate the media, I hate the fans, you guys want to say stuff to me on twitter then walk up to my face and try to be nice to me. I’m telling you don’t walk up to me, don’t touch me and say hi to me.”

In light of these statements, one might argue that the writing was on the wall with Mike Perry. His behavior has sparked a debate about how such incidents should be tackled by the organization. White continued to expand upon the situation.

“Perry said that leading up to his fight. He is a man of his word apparently, and here we are today. He obviously needs some help. It’s not normal behavior. He’s got a lot more angry and agitated… you see this happen to guys and girls when they start to get a little bit of fame.”

Further details pertaining to Mike Perry and the aforementioned incident still remain largely unknown. The UFC has come out on record to state that ‘Platinum’ will not be given any further fights until the situation is resolved. Moreover, the matter is constantly evolving with the progression of time.
