Mike Perry stakes $500K bet on Nate Diaz's next fight to dethrone the champion!

Mike Perry is set to earn the biggest paycheck of his fighting career. Perry is scheduled to fight fellow UFC alum Nate Diaz on Most Valuable Promotions’ when Ariel Helwani asked him if it would be the biggest paycheck of his career so far. “The next one’s always the best one.

This is the next one,” Perry said. “I’ve been saying this for 20 years. ” Perry fought in the UFC welterweight division from 2016 to 2021, going 7-8.
