Mike Perry claims he suffered a broken arm in his loss to Donald Cerrone in Saturday’s UFC Fight Night 139 co-headliner.
The much-discussed welterweight matchup ended when Perry (12-4 MMA, 5-4 UFC) got caught in a fight-ending armbar in the first round courtesy of “Cowboy” (34-11 MMA, 21-8 UFC), who set multiple UFC records with the victory in the co-main event at Pepsi Center in Denver.
The result was not the one Perry desired in the biggest fight of his career, but afterward he showed class toward his opponent and revealed the damage he sustained (via Twitter):
Good job @Cowboycerrone you broke my damn arm
Cerrone confirmed Perry’s tweet during his backstage interview with reporters.
“I felt it pop before I went belly down,” Cerrone said. “The rest was just tearing a chicken wing off. I was taking it home with me.”
Perry did not reveal the exact severity of the arm break or whether he will require surgery. Nevertheless, “Platinum” will likely be out for a while after suffering his third loss in his past four fights.
