On Thursday, Perry took to social media, unleashing a series of Tweets attempting to goad Diaz into a fight.
Everybody talking about the return of @nickdiaz209 like he looks tough or something. A skinny weakling like his lil brother, y’all both look like @mickeygall , @realroyce was the only guy ever good at that jitsu style. Florida jiu jitsu is on top ! #EastCoast

I’ll hit you with this right hook and you’ll pull guard and I’ll just ride out the time with ground and pound from top position. If you don’t want to come back we understand, just stop clout chasing @nickdiaz209

Perry previously used a similar strategy to call out Nate Diaz but to no avail. Similarly, Nick Diaz is reportedly interested in facing top welterweights upon his return and Perry is currently unranked with a 7-6 record in the UFC. Then there’s the matter of Perry being functionally suspended by the UFC pending “professional treatment” following an alleged assault of three people in July. That being said, Perry may have slightly more luck here as his name is at least one that oddsmakers have included as a possible opponent for Nick Diaz’s return.“They saying you won’t show up for the fight.

Diaz has not fought since 2015, a loss to Anderson Silva that was overturned to a no-contest following failed drug tests by both fighters. Meanwhile, Perry is coming off a unanimous decision victory over Mickey Gall in June.

If you are asking yourself why i would accept a fight with a way lower ranked opponent it’s because first I wanna stay active, second I’m not scared of proving myself over and over and third these top 15 they are fucking campers. They think they’re playing COD or something

One of the most amazing moments of my fighting career and also one of the lowest times of my fighting life. Looking back at this now I only have mixed emotions- 21 kilograms of weight loss in 3 1/2 weeks at altitude, kidnapping threat, super dam hot saunas , another headline for another sector of the world, personal issues, so much shit u wouldn’t even consider.... But dam I love Mexico I love the Mexican people and even though it didn’t go the way we wanted it I am very thankful to @ufc and @danawhite for letting me open this market I’m very thankful to my guys zen -Flinty- big Steve -lollo -woz- my man toks - Tama and Jen and her family also my guys that couldn’t be there. Win lose or draw I’m all in in this crazy life vatos locos forever carnale. @juggernautmarkhunt

[h=1]FIGHT ANNOUNCEMENTS[/h]Brok Weaver (15-5) vs. Jalin Turner (9-5); UFC Vegas 10, Sep. 12.
[h=1]FINAL THOUGHTS[/h]No one ever called Mike Perry subtle. Still, that’s actually probably a good fight for Diaz to come back to. Makes much more sense than an actual top welterweight.
Thanks for reading, enjoy the fights, and see y’all on Monday.
