"He would beat tf outta u" - Fans hilariously react to Mike Perry calling out Andrew Tate and KSI

MMA fans have reacted to former UFC fighter Mike Perry taking to Twitter to call out the controversial internet personality Andrew Tate and YouTuber-turned-boxer KSI.

Perry last fought for the UFC in 2021 and left the organization with a mixed 1-4 record in his final five appearances. 'Platinum' has since signed for the Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship (BKFC) and most recently defeated Bellator's Michael 'Venom' Page via a six-round majority decision victory.

Mike Perry has never been a fighter to mince words and so his call-outs of Andrew Tate and KSI may be of little surprise to fans:

MMA fans have reacted to the above call-outs, with one fan suggesting that former kickboxing champion Andrew Tate would have no issue defeating Perry.

Another fan believes 'Platinum's call-out of KSI is nothing more than to increase his own popularity and chase the money.

Twitter user @schwick6 would instead like to see the American fight the now free-agent Nate Diaz following the conclusion of his UFC contract.

Mike Perry also interested in fighting Nate Diaz

Mike Perry has also confirmed that he'd be interested in fighting UFC veteran and current free-agent Nate Diaz in a BKFC bout.

Diaz recently fought at UFC 279 against Tony Ferguson in the last fight of his UFC contract. The Stockton-born fighter was originally meant to face Khamzat Chimaev but 'Borz's' 7.5-pound weight-miss led to a reshuffling of opponents. UFC 279 was instead headlined by the two veterans and Diaz bowed out on a win after submitting 'El Cucuy' in the fourth round.

'Platinum' responded to a post by the official BKFC Twitter account that confirmed the organization is intending on making a play to sign the former UFC star:

Perry also sent a video message out to Nate Diaz and BKFC on Instagram, calling for the fight to main-event a card in the near future.
