Mike Perry reveals what happened with his UFC contract

Mike Perry's last fight in the UFC took place in April 2021 when he took on Daniel Rodriguez. The 30-year-old ended up on the wrong side of a unanimous decision and later parted ways with the promotion.

Prior to his fight at Triad Combat, Perry did an interview with Helen Yee where he revealed that going into his fight with Rodriguez, he thought he had one more fight left on his UFC contract. He said:

"I fought my contract out, you know what? I dropped the news, low-key, I was dumb. For some reason, I thought after my nose broke, I signed a five-fight contract after Luque fight. I guess it was a four-fight contract and I told you, I had one more fight on my contract. I guess I still had a headache or something, I don't know what I was thinking. I thought going into the fight I had one more fight on my contract and then it turns out I didn't, so I was a free agent there for a little while."

Before his eventual departure, the 30-year-old was going through a rough patch in the UFC as he managed to win only one of his last five fights in the promotion.
