Perry had lost five of his last seven fights, and his wild mixed martial arts career took another swerve in recent months when he split with his wife, separated from his coaches and decided that his girlfriend, Latory Gonzalez, would be the only person in his corner at this fight. Gonzalez doesn't have an extensive combat sports background, and her corner work largely consisted of placing an ice bag on Perry's neck between rounds and saying: "You're doing great, baby." Perry used his superior striking skills and an impressive ground game to earn just his second win since July 2018.
