Is Mike Perry on the chopping block?

We aren't that lucky. The sooner the UFC shakes this rat off their neck the better but that probably means he has a job for life.
 
If he loses again I think he is. He's looked competitive at points but been absolutely tooled too. Perry whether or not you agree with his personality, generates a lot of media for the UFC. Him getting KO'd, him ko'ing, post fight sound bites, making his personal life highly visible (negative or not, mostly negative). He's fairly cheap for someone who gets as much attention as he does but he's also regressing a lot. If he gets absolutely handled in his next fight I could see UFC cutting their loses regardless of the clicks he generates
 
I honestly don’t know why he hasn’t been already


The UFC should have a feeder league and then just stars fighting on ppv . And the feeder league should be free

Perry was still willing to brawl and made offerings to the just bleed God even in defeat.

Yoel was tentative and was boo'ed for inaction in his last fight and also probably costs a lot more than perry to book hence the cut.

He had ONE bad fight??? Castrate him! But to answer OP Dana said no because he likes Perrys low IQ style

Romero was cut because he refused to fight anyone that wasn't going to lead to a title shot. Mike Perry is a cheaper middle of the road guy who fights anyone.

Doesn't Perry make like 200k a fight? For what he brings to the table I wouldn't call that cheap. He's not training with a camp and doesn't have real coaches his skills are declining by the day. He was getting pieced up by Mickey Gall and had to wrestle him to win. I won't be shocked if he gets cut after another loss or two.
 
He should be cut, but they reward trash people in the ufc

Remember when he had all the hype in the world on Sherdog? Lol, everyone thought he was gonna be the next Conor. What an epic fall from grace! So many of you got tooled.o_O

Not tooled. Just hoped we seen a bad guy go good and the birth of an MMA star. Cant blame people for hoping.

That is the point. He fought the best for years and won't get a title shot again. So usually, guys like that get to be a high level gatekeeper. Problem with Romero is that he will beat most of the new guys, he is not an interesting gatekeeper for the UFC. He is expensive and will destroy the market value and hype of most guys the UFC pushes. They can use Weidman and Gastelum for that role.

How is this the point? I never understood this narrative, he isn't boring like fitch to kill contenders off.

Again, he hasn't killed off any prospect yet, the last prospect he fought was Costa and he lost and we all know how Costa title aspirations went.

He is also pretty old so he will decline sooner than later which should not be a problem
 
I think Perry gets one more chance...but yeah, he'll be gone if he loses again (or knocks out another random senior citizen at a restaurant).

Lower mid tier guys like Perry are worth keeping around. He has name recognition and is in exciting fights. If he keeps losing he'll get cut, but there's no rush.
 
Dana is full of shit...If a fighter can cause fans to purchase PPV, the win / loss record is irrelevant..
