Perry revealed that the Diaz fight will be the biggest payday of his fighting career. The former UFC fighter answered in the affirmative when Ariel Helwani asked him if it would be the biggest paycheck of his career so far.
“The next one’s always the best one. This is the next one,” Perry said. “I’ve been saying this for 20 years.”
Perry fought in the UFC welterweight division from 2016 to 2021, going 7-8. Perry parted ways with the promotion in 2021 and joined Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship, where he found the proverbial second wind of his career. Perry has defeated the likes of Michael Page, Eddie Alvarez, Luke Rockhold, and Jeremy Stephens during his BKFC tenure.
