Recently, MMA fans have been buzzing with admiration and praise for the former UFC fighter Mike Perry for his unusual yet remarkable gesture towards none other than Joe Rogan.
In the midst of his participation in the BKFC, the 31-year-old MMA fighter made a notable appearance on ‘The Joe Rogan Experience’. To everyone’s surprise, he didn’t arrive empty-handed. Instead, ‘Platinum’ Perry brought along a collection of presents for the esteemed podcaster, which were far from your typical run-of-the-mill gifts. However, it is precisely the uniqueness and thoughtfulness behind these offerings that have captivated fans.

During his appearance on the JRE, Mike Perry decided to express his gratitude and friendship towards the esteemed commentator through a series of unconventional gifts.
The first gift, a pair of shorts worn by Perry during his unforgettable clash with Paul Felder. Continuing the exchange, the former UFC fighter presented Rogan with a coaster – a seemingly simple object.
However, it was Perry’s third gift that took Rogan by surprise, eliciting a mix of horror and amusement. Perry had procured a few air fresheners from Wuhan, China, during the height of the pandemic.
While one would see it as an unconventional gift, the MMA fans were seemingly in awe of this gesture by Perry. The fans’ reactions, full of adoration and delight, further emphasize the impact of Perry’s thoughtful gesture.
