Mike Perry, Max Griffin announce UFC on FOX 28 matchup
Mike Perry officially is on the comeback trail after a high-profile setback last month.
Perry (11-2 MMA, 4-2 UFC) today confirmed his next octagon appearance, which will take place against Max Griffin (13-4 MMA, 1-2 UFC) at UFC on FOX 28.

UFC on FOX 28 takes place Feb. 24 at Amway Center in Orlando, Fla. While the bout’s order has not been confirmed, Perry’s highlight-reel pedigree makes him a shoo-in for the FOX-televised main card, which follows prelim fights on FS1 and UFC Fight Pass.
Orlando resident Perry’s loss snapped a two-fight knockout streak that put him on the cusp of a marquee fight with the undefeated Darren Till (16-0-1 MMA, 4-0-1 UFC), who jawed with him following a win over Donald Cerrone at UFC Fight Night 118. Both Perry and Till seemed content to make the fight happen in spite of the roadblock, but UFC matchmakers had other plans.
Griffin also is on the mend following a “Fight of the Night” loss to Elizeu Zaleski dos Santos at UFC Fight Night 119. Now 1-2 in the octagon, Griffin gets a chance to bounce back in style.
The latest UFC on FOX 28 card now includes:
- David Branch vs. Yoel Romero
- Jessica Andrade vs. Tecia Torres
- Max Griffin vs. Mike Perry
- Jake Collier vs. Marcin Prachnio
- Olivier Aubin-Mercier vs. Gilbert Burns
- Alan Jouban vs. Ben Saunders
- Gadzhimurad Antigulov vs. Aleksandar Rakic
- Yana Kunitskaya vs. Sara McMann
