[autotag]Mike Perry[/autotag] isn’t very happy with his performance at UFC 245.
Perry (13-6 MMA, 6-6 UFC) not only suffered the fastest defeat of his career at just 90 seconds, but also experienced his first loss due to strikes when Geoff Neal (13-2 MMA, 5-0 UFC) stopped him in dramatic fashion on Saturday’s card at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.
The welterweight fight had a lot of shine on it due to the clash of styles and its position as the featured preliminary bout on ESPN2. Perry didn’t rise to the occasion, and, while obviously embarrassed, owned up to that (via Twitter).
Phok bro. Wtf , my offense wasn’t there. Damn if I don’t feel like a dumbass. Kids don’t be like me. It’s dangerous when you seem to enjoy getting hit in the face , But Still , I will be back in the gym to drill moves to kill until my team feels I’ll bring the thrills ! Thanks

There wasn’t much to speak of in the quick fight. Neal caught Perry early with a head kick then put the pressure on until he got the finish, moving the Fortis MMA product to 5-0 inside the octagon.
The outcome continued a rough stretch for Perry, though. Despite being a fan favorite, “Platinum” has lost five of his past seven UFC fights and has taken considerable damage in each of those defeats.
