Former UFC star Mike Perry demonstrated the ultimate commitment to honoring his wagers when he allowed his wife, Latory Perry, to choke him unconscious in a video shared on Instagram.
In the wholesome clip, Perry can be seen instructing his wife on the proper technique of a rear naked choke. “Now you pinch your elbows together,” Perry guides her, while sitting in front of her. He carefully adjusts her hand positions and reminds her to maintain steady breathing during the execution.
“You’ll know when I go because I’ll put my hands up and when they drop, I’ll probably be out,” Perry explains in the video. True to his word, moments later, his hands drop as Latory successfully applies the technique.
The video, which Perry shared with the caption “Honor your bets,” quickly gained attention from notable figures in the combat sports community. UFC veterans Yoel Romero, Mike Davis, and Daniel Rodriguez responded with laughing emojis in the comments section.
BJ Penn took a playful jab at Perry, commenting, “Every fight Mike wins he gets better looking 🥳.” Latory Perry maintained the light-hearted atmosphere by responding with “all love” in the comments.
Fans flooded the comments section with various reactions. One viewer warned, “She’s gonna use that one on you when she’s mad,” while another praised Perry’s teaching abilities, noting, “You taught her something new🫡 She’ll know that forever.”
Some observers speculated that Perry was merely acting, with one fan commenting, “That girl did not get him out, acting at its finest he was making her feel better.”
While the exact nature of the bet remains undisclosed, the 33-year-old bare-knuckle competitor has certainly shown his commitment to following through on his promises, even if it means taking a brief nap courtesy of his wife’s newly learned skills.
