UFC Pittsburgh Preview

By Darryn Smith 

#UFCPittsburgh Preview We have a new #FightWeek in The Steel Town of America. Luke Rockhold vs David Branch. Not quite the all-star cast of fighters from #UFC215 card but there are a few fighters to keep your eyes on this card. Which draws me to our #Fighter of The Week. Our #8bitMMA Fighter of The Week is Mike "Platinum" Perry. He was born in Altamonte Springs,Florida. Fights out of Team Sparta. Perry has been actively fighting since 2014 when he made his MMA debut. Perry was on a 9-Fight win streak before he was dethroned by Alan Jouban last year on a #UFCFightNight card. Perry's last win came Jake Ellenberger last April by KO(elbow) from a #UFCFightNight108. Perry fought five times last year by defeating Danny Roberts,Hyun Gyu Lim,David Mundell,and Frank Carrillo. Meanwhile, Perry stated on Ariel Halwani's #TheMMAHour this week, that he and his girlfriend were rear-ended in a car accident at a stoplight one night in May that caused Perry a neck injury and ingested metal which was found in his stomach area. Perry has recovered from this accident the best way he could to prepare for any fight coming up. When The UFC called, Perry answered and is fighting this Saturday in Pittsburgh against a new opponent Alex Reyes replaces Hector Lombard on this card. Perry is a rising star in UFC trying to make his mark and to be a successful champion one day. Here is how the Pittsburgh fight card is as of today: (Card subject to change) #Maincard Luke Rockhold vs David Branch Alex Reyes vs Mike Perry Gregor Gillespie vs Jason Gonzalez Kamaru Usman vs Sergio Moraes Justin Ledet vs Dmitriy Sosnovskiy #Undercard Tony Martin vs Olivier Aubin-Mercier Anthony Hamilton vs Daniel Spitz Krzysztof Jotko vs Uriah Hall Gilbert Burns vs Jason Saggo Justin Ledet vs Dmitrii Smoliakov Continue to spread the word about us.
