      Talk to me once you’ve actually delved into the person. Mike is a protector. He’s Nick and Nate (Diaz) approved. Do not start no trouble there will not be any problems. I have watched this fighter grow throughout the years. While he is dangerous, he still wears his heart on his sleeve. I guess that is what I mean he is sweet. He lets you know the boundaries.

    This podcast was 1 of my favorite JRE ones in a while. Definitely my favorite fighter podcast with Joe. Mike had me laughing more than most of the comedians Joe brings on and he wasn’t even trying to be funny all the time, just being himself. The amount of confusion between the 2 was hilarious, so many things were just going over each others heads like they were speaking different languages. I wish it went longer but I could tell Mike was starting to get burnt out from having the longest conversation of his life. It would be epic to have Mike Perry on Mike Tyson’s podcast.

    Love that Mike has found not only a good place, but the place perfect for him. I remember growing up, how much I loved fighting, but really just loved brawling. Thought about trying to pursue a career in it, but decided it would be a bad choice because of how difficult it is to actually be successful, make money, and avoid destroying your body in the process.
    That is what I love about Mike - he just DGAF. Straight dawg, just goes at it... every single fight. Always said the issue was, he didn't fight smart enough. He has some really good, solid skills. But he loves brawling so much, he would get caught in traps or out-pointed by more strategic MMA fighters. Bareknuckle... he forces it to just be a battle of wills and souls. He will NOT back down and is almost impossible to put down... so unless you can take AND dish more pain and violence than Mike Perry, you will lose.
    If there was a real-life equivalent of a D&D barbarian... that would be Mike Perry. Wanderlei back in the day. Just lunatics for violence and aggression.

      I tried messing around with it but found it impeded my vision and made my punches telegraphed and awkward. You might get called for backfist due to the mechanics of the strikes in modern boxing even... I will say it might be more valuable than a standard high guard if you're against the ropes or trying to get in because I do feel like it more effectively covers the most vulnerable areas, especially if you've got long enough arms to wrap your ears and mix it up with a long-guard defence, which is primarily how foreman made it valuable.

      What do you think about Boxing as a sport in general no matter the generations ? Sugar Ray Robinson, Gene Fullmer, Alexis Arguello, Roberto Duran, Carlos Monzon, Jake Lamotta, Mike Tyson, Joe Louis, Rocky Marciano etc ... ? I mean, do you think any of those Boxers would have done well in Bare Nuckle ? I tend to think so ..
      Because Bare Knuckle is a form of Boxing right ? I would have liked the likes Errol Spence or Gennady Golovkin to do Bare Knuckle for one fight .. Errol has a video on youtube where he is bare handed with another Guy ..

    I've attempted to join bare knuckle, went to a tryout but arrived four hours late. I was driving from new york to new mexico so my timing collapsed along the way. I arrived at the end of the tryout, but they allowed me to tryout anyway.
    I was in a strange personal state of mind, and tired. I just quit my job by walking out a week before. The tryout was not what i expected, and after the travel and battles i was having inside, i was not up for it.
    They made me take my shirt off and pose for pics. Then i was interviewed by leonard garcia. I couldnt think well, or answer well. I was then asked to shadow box for 7 minutes before hitting a heavy bag for 3 minutes.
    There were multiple fighters and people with nothing left to do but watch this one guy left. John Dodson was watching, Garcia, and other i don't remember. I was so reluctant. After about a minute, i stopped. I said im sorry, everything feels so wrong, i cannot perform like this. John Dodson asked me what was the matter, he was very supportive but man....i was just so defeated. I had nothing in me for them.
    I failed myself, but it was strange. Nobody was mean or thought i was an idiot, i think in a way they understood something was honestly off for me.
    This took place on donald cerrones ranch/home. He was there, i walked past him on the way in, he had a beer and was talking to a crowd of prospects. After all that, the scene was wrapping up, i sort of wandered about, played with donalds dog a bit.
    I was also in a bad situation, i was broke, was using a credit card for money, i left it at a gas station somewhere 400 miles away. I called the boss i quit on for help but he was not willing, so i found donald cerrone and asked if i could do some work to get money to go home. He said meet me in a bit by the saloon he built and we will talk.
    I was then sitting on the porch, garcia was still there, donald and other people and his family. He made me tell my story of what happened, and they all sat and listened as i was interviewed by Donald. I explained my situation, somewhat of my life turmoil, and we talked about this amd that as well. He actually told me off about being not a man for failing to get here on time, which was almost fighting words the way he said it, but i explained i had to wait last minute for my last paycheck before leaving. He was satisfied with that i guess.
    He got up and walked away, came back with $400 cash and handed it to me. He said i could take a shower but they are all leaving soon so i have to also go soon. I cleaned up and said my goodbyes.
    I have not had the opportunity to try out again, as they have not come close to my area in awhile. It is still a goal of mine, and i will pay donald back on my first prize fight check.

    Joe kept making it sound like all these fighters would beat Perry in anything but bareknuckle. He kept wording it in certain ways... Perry picked up on that and that is why he said "yea but I also had the same edge" "yes but I figured out how to punch bareknuckle" "Ya but I also know jiu-jitsu" "ya but i can fight in anything".
