Following his win over Mickey Gall at UFC Vegas 4 in June 2020, Perry expressed his thoughts on the issue, highlighting how it has impacted his financial situation.When asked about his plans for the rest of the year during a backstage interview with Jon Anik, Perry replied:"I'm gonna find that team, I've gotta make some moves. I've gotta take this money and I gotta move to a new area - me and my girl - and there's some big things happening in my life. I'm gonna go put some things together. I've gotta pay some bills, pay some debts."He added:"I've gotta go talk to the tax folk, and see if we can run that number down. Because I believe I paid out over $100,000 last year between a couple of different countries, and then they're trying to hit me again at the end of the year. It's almost like I don't even fight for minimum wage sometimes. I ain't trying to be one of these guys asking for more money. I'm not. I'm asking for the government to stop taking so much of this.
