The old Mike Perry who was known to “stand and bang until one goes down” is back! Alex Oliveira tried to engage in a wild brawl for three rounds, but could not with stand the punching power Perry brings to the game. Alex was successful with this striking in the first round causing Perry to bleed and retract. As the rounds progressed, Perry’s striking became more crisp and found their mark easily eventually knocking down Alex twice. Every time Alex landed some shots Perry curled up and ate them like nothing only to see Alex losing his gas. Alex tried using his leg kicks but missed the mark every time he threw one. Perry displayed improved fight IQ, patience to see an opening, counter striking and also ground skills. By the end of the second round, Alex had injured his right toe which eventually affected him in the final round. Perry continuing his game plan marched forward and unleashed a flurry of punches making Alex curl up against the cage. This was a big win for Perry since his submission loss to another Cowboy.
