It seems like O’Malley was not joking when he said that Mike Perry had some of the greatest advice from the corner today. When Twitter user MMAMOMENTS asked him whether he, too, would like to have his girlfriend in his corner for the next fight, O’ Malley replied, “90%”.

Unsurprisingly, Mike Perry ended up pretty emotional after getting the W. After all, he faced a lot of backlash from the entire MMA fraternity because of his unique choices.
Nevertheless, Perry strove on and displayed a brilliant gameplan that he executed with commendable precision. He executed strong takedowns against Gall, who himself recognizes the ground game as his strength.
