Unleashing The Joker: The Rise, Fall, and Future of UFC's Jay Perrin The 135 lb champion of the 2019 Cage Titans speaks about the UFC run (FEB 2019) Hear what it takes to be a fighter people want to watch and will listen to before he joins the UFC. PERRIN talks about what it takes to be a fighter people want to watch While Perrin may appear to be the same person he was in 2023, he has had a very difficult journey to get there. Perrin says "I FIGHT FOR MORE THAN MYSELF, fights for the city he grew up in.. we all grew up poor without a silver spoon, and if I can do it so can you. You don't need to be some super-gifted athlete you just need to grind hard and when you fall get back up! To anyone who thinks they are down and OUT...YOU NOT!!!!" Perrin's Early Career In his early career, Perrin fought for regional promotions such as Cage Titans and CES MMA. He quickly established himself as a force to be reckoned with, winning his first four professional fights via submission or TKO. However, Perrin faced his first setback in 2018 when he suffered a unanimous decision loss to Richie Santiago at CES MMA 50. Despite the setback, Perrin bounced back with a vengeance, winning his next four fights and capturing the Cage Titans bantamweight title in the process. Perrin's UFC Debut Perrin’s hard work and dedication paid off when he received the call to compete in the UFC. His debut came on August 22, 2020, at UFC Fight Night: Munhoz vs. Edgar, where he faced fellow newcomer, Jordan Griffin. Although Perrin lost a close split decision, he showed that he belonged in the UFC with his gritty performance. He proved that he has the heart and determination to succeed at the highest level of MMA. Perrin takes the motivation he receives from his closest friends who cannot be here any longer and turns it into a strength by channeling his higher power: the angels. The UFC has yet to turn Jay down a challenge. Unfortunately being young and hungry with the glory of the biggest stage on the planet in their hands most fighters become gun hoes vs being focused on the long term within the organization. Sadly this leads to 3 fights with 2 losses that can have a very dark blemish on a fighter's value and future as their next contract negotiation approaches. Perrin’s fighting style is characterized by his unpredictability and creativity. He is equally comfortable on the feet and on the ground, and he is always looking for ways to surprise his opponents with unorthodox techniques and strategies. Conclusion: The Future Looks Bright for Jay Perrin Jay Perrin is a rising star in the UFC bantamweight division. With his unique fighting style and unwavering determination, he has already made a name for himself in the sport. And with his upcoming fight against David Dvorak, he has the opportunity to take another step towards greatness. As Perrin continues to hone his skills and gain experience in the UFC, there is no doubt that he will become a force to be reckoned with in the bantamweight division. Fans of MMA should keep their eyes on “The Joker” as he continues his journey inside the octagon. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
