Nobody's calling that guy out. Or I could fight... I wanna fight good guys man, Mike Tyson, Usyk, who's another one, Leon Edwards."

View this post on Instagram Instagram Post Mike Perry is looking to fight Jake Paul Mike Perry's hitlist of opponents is topped by Jake Paul. 'Platinum' issued a callout to Paul in the immediate aftermath of his win over Michael Page. The former UFC welterweight reiterated his callout during his appearance on The MMA Hour. Ariel Helwani@arielhelwaniAfter his win, @PlatinumPerry calls out @jakepaul. Oh my.4866178After his win, @PlatinumPerry calls out @jakepaul. Oh my. Perry believes that a fight against him is an opportunity for 'The Problem Child' to establish himself as a legitimate fighter. 'Platinum' said: "And I think I'm the perfect fight for him, I'm trying to help him out. He wants to be solidified as a real fighter, and I'm the realest, grittiest fighter on the planet. People are starting to know that... I think it makes a lot of sense." Perry also claimed to have been approached by Paul's team to fight on one of their cards. However, the former UFC welterweight is unwilling to fight on Paul's card unless it's against 'The Problem Child' himself. The 30-year-old further said: "They did call my people, his people called my people, and talked about possibly strategically placing me on a Jake Paul card. But the thing is, we're not trying to get on the card so that your card gets bought because of me, unless I'm fighting you."
