Perry's final foe in the UFC tips his hat to him for what he's done out of the Octagon.
"Platinum" did build a name for himself in the Octagon, where he fought for five years against some of the best fighters in the world such as Paul Felder, Donald 'Cowboy' Cerrone, Geoff Neal and whoever else the UFC put in front of him. Perry didn't always get his hand raised, exchanging wins and losses throughout his run, but the fan-favorite left a lasting memory with the violent way in which he fought.
Having outboxed Perry in their UFC fight back in 2021, "D-Rod" says he could definitely see potential for a Perry upset against Paul, despite him being more of a brawler than a technical boxer. Though, Rodriguez isn't too impressed with Paul's game, calling him a "really good amateur boxer."D-Rod Thrown A Curveball In Next Fight vs. Gastelum
