How did the relationship between Darren Till and Mike Perry go from spa to spar?
What initially seemed like banter between the two fighters clearly has escalated, with Till going from creating Instagram accounts to trash Perry to now purchasing a domain for website he’s created: MikePerryIsABum.com.
This is a real thing. Check it out:
The site includes a “Bum Gallery” with memes and images of Perry’s recent losses and damage taken in fights.
A few years ago, a potential Perry vs. Till fight was a hot topic. But then things seemed cool between the two fighters in 2018, when they wound up sparring together in Los Angeles. The feud sparked up again, though, and last month Perry told MMA Junkie just how much he hates Till, going off on him with homophobic slurs.
More recently things escalated further when Till took aim at Perry’s girlfriend, with Perry firing back on social media.
A fight between the two seems highly unlikely as things stand, with Till recently moving up to middleweight. But their rivalry continues to brew.
Till is scheduled to headline the UFC’s July 25 event on Yas Island in Abu Dhabi when he takes on Robert Whittaker, while Perry faces Mickey Gall in the co-main event of the UFC’s June 27 event.
