Mike Perry Explains Why Jail Was ‘Best and Worst Experience of My Life’ 

Mike Perry on JRE MMA Show needs to happen.

Mike Perry is the only fighter I know that can make me watch a 1 hour interview without getting bored! Great stuff!

Mike Perry - “praying for it ain’t gonna get it done” Helwani - “what made you change your beliefs?” Perry - “I went to Amsterdam and got really high” 😆😂😎

Him and Sage Northcutt have the same life story.

Mike needs to go on JRE

Dude is really honest. I dig that.

Respect to mike perry. Many people can relate to growing up like he did.

Best in studio guest by far!

I can't believe I just watched an hour long interview without pausing it once. That was incredible, Mike Perry is a treasure. I can't wait for him to get on JRE.

Ok. This dude needs to go on Joe Rogan!

Mike Perry is a real American icon bro, so real!

Great Interview! He is a character, but great!

Remarkable. Mike Perry is pure honest, very introspective and aware. Amazing stuff, here.

Platinum is the realest in the game

I love this guy! This is one of Ariel’s best interviews, Perry is a true fighter, definitely a huge fan and an even bigger fan now that we got to listen to him talk. Platinum Mike Perry is now even more so one of my favorite fighters. Can’t wait to see how his career goes! #Platinum

I became a fan after this

"He's lucky that i didn't hit him with the KILLbow." - Mike Perry HAHAHA

Huge fan of Mike, good to see him right here. Great job Ariel!

POWERFUL MIKE PERRY

Best dude around

I've never sat through a full MMA hour show until today. Mike is the man. Appreciate the realness

awesome interview!

Postive vibes for this dude

Thank you! for uploading this! Much love much love!

Great interview! One of the best in studio interviews to date in my opinion!

This the best interview yet. I'm always a fan of Perry.

Mike Perry is an interesting character for sure. I am looking forward to seeing what he can do from this point

Great interview, one of the best I've heard in this MMA outlet 👍🏾

Did Mike Perry's beard come in during the interview?

Mike Perry this interview is amazing man dudes so honest Ariel knows what to ask like always I wanna see platinum with the belt fr.

Best interview so far

Watched the whole thing cause Mike's a real dude with good talks to share.

He's Transcending. Get it Mike!!

Never thought I had much in common with Mike Perry, but damn when he talked about 12 different schools, always moving... that's my life. Even now I live abroad and can't stop moving... how much of a difference Mike Perry would have if he had positive role models and guidance growing up.

Appreciate Mike's honesty, enjoy watching his fights but i some time's feel he talks the talk but never shows what he's talking about, thats my only issue with him (i guess that's MMA for ya). But it was nice getting to hear about his up bringing and his current thoughts on life in general, Mike's a solid dude 👍🏼👊🏼

Caught myself smiling for the first 10 min straight, fkn love this guy!! He’s pretty good at articulating what he wants to say, surprisingly

Superb interview-from the heart

Really really enjoyed this whole interview. Props to PMP!

Mike you a real one.real talk.listening to your point of view on things and experiences is alot similar to the way i think and things ive been though..stay blessed💯🙏

That was awesome. That was real, raw and uncut. I've always been a fan of his as a fighter and now I'm a fan of his as a person.

This was the best interview I've ever seen

The best MMA interview ive listened to in ages!

Perry is a real dude, love hearing his honesty and rawness

Man this is a great interview

Great show Probibly the best show so far mike perry is a warrior.

Great interview

This was such an amazing interview. I'm so happy to hear him grow as a person. His comments about his relationship with his father was heartbreaking. In the absence of parental guidance to offer structure, support, and love, he learned life lessons by experiencing the harsher punishments that life can offer.

Amazing interview

I have never been too keen on Mike for some reason, listening to this interview has changed my view completely. I can relate to him in several ways, I've been to prison myself as a nipper & the whole 9 yards. Will def be paying more attention to him from now on. As usual Ariel a very solid interview, you always seem to ask the best questions & take the interview down the most relevant & interesting place, good work 👌

Great Interview.

I feel you Mike, everything you went through has made you who you are today. Growing up in NYC and coming from a broken home, I know how you feel....HANG IN THERE. ( i lived in Orlando for 14 years, love it, i have family there still).

Love this 🙏🏽

Platinum I root for this down to earth guy good interview

you can tell Mike needed this interview. excellent interview Ariel.

Mike you're top and on a great path - your minds in the right place - we're rooting for you brother

much more respect PMP, wish more people were open and honest like that

One of the BEST interviews since the Pat Berry one

I could listen to this guy's stories all day

this segment was amazing.

I think I may be becoming a legit fan of mike.

I know these parts where Mike has grew up in and I went to school and grew with guys like him. Men like him are the most honest and fearless. That's cool he has family in Tennessee and in FL so do I.

such a good interview

One of the best interviews

More interviews like that, Ariel! Thanks brotha

Skip to 33:22 to hear Mike Perry talking about going to JAIL

Mike Platinum Perry is as real as they come! One of my favorite fighters by far. When he was asked a question and he would pause it wasn't because he was tippy toeing around trying to find the best answers it was because he wanted to make sure he was telling the full truth and being 100% REAL!

U inspire me Mike! I want to see you a world champion.. A man is valued on how he deals with adversity

I just love this guy! I personally like the beard! He's so real and my second favourite UFC fighter🇮🇪 His upbringing sounds a little scary, imagine being afraid of purple paper! Go for it Mike, your honesty is so touching, hope you get everything you hope for with Danielle🇮🇪

Wow...True honesty is a such rarity in these times

Awesome interview. Mike Perry's the real deal. Hope he wins so he can go the studio to speak his mind a little more.

I can listen all day mike perry

Troubled youth, turned professional fighter in the UFC getting paid stacks of cash! Mad respect. 💯

Thank you Mike Perry for this interview

Just 25min in. And this my favorite Ariel interview. Or any Ufc fighter interview for that matter.

I love this guy Mike. Hard worker for going out to NY for this show when the fight is in his hometown! Cuddos Perry get that W boi!

Wow just became a mile perry fan

Mike is destined for greatness. I'm so happy he saw the flaws of that structured religious BS and a very very flawed ideal. Feels great to think for yourself and to understand how powerful yourself is. Not to live in fear of a god so that man can benefit. Stay blessed Mike

One of my favourite in studios ever on the show. Fantastic character and self awareness from this fan favourite fighter. He will go far no doubt, will be difficult to become champion but he will reach very high on mentality and self awareness alone, great talent.

Loved this interview, specially seen Platinum human side.

God damn, every interview with platinum make me a bigger fan. Good life story

Very mature interview from Perry.

Honestly thought he was a clown until I saw this live. Kids heart is in the right place great interview Ariel. I’ll be rooting for my man Mike Perry

Man, I used to hate this guy just based off his looks and I wished this guy no success because I didn't see more than what my eyes saw and now I kind of like this guy after hearing him talk. This interview was very beneficial for him because it gets people like me to take a second look at him and converts some people who otherwise weren't a fan. I hope this guy buckles down in his training and finds success, he seems very real and nice. Good luck Mike!

Damn, relate to this guy so much. My parents used to move me around so much and was terrified of my abusive dad.

We all knew he was troubled, but never did we expect to be here today in 2021, and although Dana White still likes him, and some of us enjoy the memories, what a wild ride he put himself on. Paranoid, misguided, angry...has made a fool of himself outside the ring... Much respect when it comes to that fighting heart, Mike. You seemed to be in a good place here, but we are in a different place now, a much worse place, but you have a real family now. Get yourself together, stop calling people "n" words, escape your upbringing, and grow up, because if this is how you remain, this is who your child will admire. I love the memories. Thank you.

How can you not mike Perry, he puts it on the line and is a funny dude

Gotta love Platinum Perry. Dudes always entertaining.

Really interesting talk, and seems like a humble nice guy. respecteronald

Masvidal and Mike are the realest in the game rn

Lol ariel "now u look like your 7... No wait 12"

This is THE greatest interview of ALL TIME. Well done Ariel. How you’re not hysterically laughing at this gold... well... You’re a true pro.

Mike Perry is the man. I hope he makes it to the top!

"Everything i knew was a lie, potato chips could be made out of plastic"

great show great guest

This is solid #gold

This dude is legit 11-2 all 11 wins by KO, and only 2 loses were DEC

so honest

Wow 😲 I can really relate to this guy.I don’t know how he made it to the UFC but he did and hats off to him. At first I thought he was a punk but after watching this I definitely know he’s legit.
