Mike Perry had the best attitude after getting beat up badly at UFC on FOX 28

Mike Perry took a beating at UFC on FOX 28 and wore it all over his face.

Perry (11-3 MMA, 4-3 UFC) ate a lot of hard shots from heavy underdog Max Griffin (14-4 MMA, 2-2 UFC), en route to dropping a lopsided unanimous decision at Amway Center in his hometown of Orlando, Fla.

It marked Perry’ second consecutive decision loss after previous back-to-back knockouts had us all hoping for big things from “Platinum.”

Still, he was tough as nails against Griffin, and for a guy who exited the octagon cut up and bloodied, Perry had a great attitude about the whole thing (via Twitter):

“I will let you see how life hits sometimes. A couple of stitches there. I ain’t afraid of it, though. It’s all a learning lesson. … No shame in my game. I want to thank the UFC staff of being so kind and taking care of everybody. I want to thank the UFC for setting up this even in my hometown and putting me on the card with a bunch of other great athletes. And, uh, I want to wish you guys a good day while I sit here and ice my face.”

Appreciate Perry wishing all of us a good day, but here’s hoping he also has good days ahead.
