"I'm not talking about your momma" - Mike Perry reveals he "almost got jumped" in Russian face-off for saying "motherf***er"

Mike Perry recently got into an altercation with a fighter he is not even scheduled to fight in Russia. 'Platimun' traveled to Russia this week to corner his friend and teammate Alex Nicholson for his upcoming fight against Vagab Vagabov.

However, Perry somehow ended up in a face-off against Russian middleweight Magomed Ismailov, even though they were not supposed to fight. The face-off, which started with a few friendly taunts, almost escalated into a full-fledged brawl after 'Platinum' used a specific slur. The fighters had to be separated after punches started to fly from both ends.

Perry explained that while the Russians take the slur at face value, it has an entirely different connotation in America. The former UFC welterweight said on Instagram:

“I almost got jumped in there. Luckily, people was breaking it up. But in Russia if you call someone a motherf*****, they think you’re talking about someone’s mom so then the whole team coming to get you. But in America when you say motherf***** it’s like normal words. It’s normal. I’m not talking about your momma, chill bro 101.”
