“Platinum” Mike Perry recently revealed that he’s interested in a rematch with “Cowboy” Cerrone, but in a boxing ring.
Perry is currently signed to the Bare-knuckle FC as a middleweight. He was formerly a part of the UFC where he had 15 outings.
Cerrone, who competed in the UFC recently retired with a record of 36 wins and 17 losses.
Perry and Cowboy clashed at UFC 246. The result was Cowboy winning by submission in the first round, in under 5 minutes.
Cowboy won by putting Perry in an armbar and in this case Perry’s size advantage could not save him.

Recently Perry tweeted “If you’re looking to box @Cowboycerrone I’m up for my rematch”. This isn’t the first time he has asked for a rematch.
In an interview, the MMA vet said:
“It’s ‘Cowboy’ Cerrone – he’s always down to go again to cash another paycheck,”.
“It’s such a game of mindsets where you can play the game on rematches like that because I was finding myself when he fought me the first time. I feel that I have found myself now – so that if he feels, ‘I’m too old and tired to continue to try to get a title win streak going and win for a title,’ instead of giving up after all this time, then he can give me another shot.”
Perry also boasted about his fights and regarding the outcome of his rematch by saying:
“We’ll see if he would want to fight me a third time after I beat him the second time. It’s just real. I want to get that rematch back. That’s the only MMA fighter who has ever stopped me. I may have lost decisions, but no one has ever done anything to me. They were always afraid and running away and ducking and covering. It’s nothing, bro.”
