Background

Perry was born in Flint, Michigan, on September 15, 1991. For much of his life, he moved around to different schools between Michigan and Florida. He said, "[In Michigan], I was one of maybe 10 white kids in the whole school, so I was bullied a lot. It was the same thing at other schools. I wouldn’t back down, so I would get into fights." This instability led him to a path of drugs, house arrest, probation violation, and jail.{{cite web|last1=Nagal|first1=Kyle|title=Fight Path: Mike Perry pushed through rocky patch to get to a life of MMA|url=http://mmajunkie.com/2015/07/fight-path-mike-perry-pushed-through-rocky-patch-to-get-to-a-life-of-mma|website=MMAjunkie|date=10 July 2015|access-date=14 October 2016|archive-date=18 October 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161018225138/http://mmajunkie.com/2015/07/fight-path-mike-perry-pushed-through-rocky-patch-to-get-to-a-life-of-mma|url-status=live}} Perry started training boxing at age 11. Upon his release from jail for burglary, he got a job as a trainer at a UFC gym in Winter Springs, Florida. His work as a trainer led to his career as a fighter.{{cite web|last=Reddick|first=Jay|title=Mike Perry rises from Florida jail to UFC stardom|url=https://www.orlandosentinel.com/sports/os-ufc-mike-perry-20171213-story.html|access-date=2020-07-14|website=orlandosentinel.com|date=14 December 2017|archive-date=2020-07-14|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200714120605/https://www.orlandosentinel.com/sports/os-ufc-mike-perry-20171213-story.html|url-status=live}}

During the fight against Lim, Perry's cornerman and fellow fighter Alex Nicholson shouted during the pre-fight introductions, "He can't even open his motherfucking eyes." Nicholson was accused of racism for this, as Lim is Korean. Nicholson later addressed the comment on Twitter, saying, "I respect every man who steps in the cage and my comments were insensitive towards Lim I was hype for my brother but It's all love no hate." On the Monday following the fight Perry said on The MMA Hour, "I don't think any of my competition can see me, and when I hit Lim, I opened a lot of people's eyes."{{Cite news|title=Mike Perry defends corner's racist taunts: 'I don't believe there was any harm intended'|work=Bloody Elbow|url=https://www.bloodyelbow.com/2016/8/24/12628576/mike-perry-defends-racist-taunts-i-dont-believe-there-was-harm-intended-ufc-news|access-date=2018-11-16|archive-date=2019-04-28|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190428140803/https://www.bloodyelbow.com/2016/8/24/12628576/mike-perry-defends-racist-taunts-i-dont-believe-there-was-harm-intended-ufc-news|url-status=live}}{{Cite news|title=UFC issue statement on Nicholson's racial remarks|work=Bloody Elbow|url=https://www.bloodyelbow.com/2016/9/1/12757580/ufc-202-mma-news-alex-nicholson-fighter-hyun-gyu-lim-racist-remarks|access-date=2018-11-16|archive-date=2019-04-28|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190428142325/https://www.bloodyelbow.com/2016/9/1/12757580/ufc-202-mma-news-alex-nicholson-fighter-hyun-gyu-lim-racist-remarks|url-status=live}}{{Cite news|title=Cries Of Racism Overshadow UFC Win|work=MMAmania.com|url=https://www.mmamania.com/2016/8/22/12585404/audio-heres-the-racist-remark-that-has-one-ufc-fighter-in-hot-water-mma|access-date=2018-11-16|archive-date=2019-04-28|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190428140821/https://www.mmamania.com/2016/8/22/12585404/audio-heres-the-racist-remark-that-has-one-ufc-fighter-in-hot-water-mma|url-status=live}}{{cite web|author=Sydnie Jones|date=2016-08-30|title=UFC Remains Blissfully Indifferent to Bigotry After Mike Perry's Corner Fiasco|url=http://bleacherreport.com/articles/2660309-ufc-remains-blissfully-indifferent-to-bigotry-after-mike-perrys-corner-fiasco|access-date=2017-04-24|publisher=Bleacher Report|archive-date=2019-04-28|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190428140857/https://bleacherreport.com/articles/2660309-ufc-remains-blissfully-indifferent-to-bigotry-after-mike-perrys-corner-fiasco|url-status=live}}
