A “Platinum” Octagon return?
When Perry was released from the UFC in 2021 following a middling run, few expected what would come next.
But “Platinum” flipped the script.
Especially when it comes to a potential UFC return.
“I would definitely say never say never,” Perry said when asked by Jon Anik about a return to the Octagon. “I’ve seen things, but I don’t want to talk too soon because I have to focus on the task at hand. I think I just demolish this… and you see the best Platinum Mike Perry — in the ring, Octagon — sorry, Hexagon. MVP puts on a good show, and I’m excited to showcase what I could when I do go back.”
Perry has maintained a solid relationship with UFC brass, which only adds fuel to the idea that a return isn’t out of the question — especially if he scores a big win over Diaz.
