Mike Perry is enjoying his time with his family, with pictures of him and his children being shared on Instagram by his wife, Latory. The family spent the day at the pumpkin patch, during which Perry's son petted a goat. Naturally, 'Platinum' had an on-brand reaction.
He popped up in the comment section of his wife's Instagram post, where he used humor in reference to his son's interaction with a goat.

For reference, G.O.A.T. is often used as a popular acronym for 'Greatest of all Time.' Given Perry's recent wave of unprecedented success as a bare-knuckle boxer, it is only sensible that he would pat himself on the back, despite a crushing TKO loss to Jake Paul in traditional boxing.
Check out the Mike Perry family's Instagram post:
Despite his success as the poster child of BKFC, Perry has found himself at the center of a feud with Conor McGregor, with whom he was previously on good terms, even taking part in an impromptu in-ring face-off. Unfortunately, following his lopsided loss to Paul, Perry's relationship with McGregor soured.
In fact, 'The Notorious' even claimed to have terminated Perry's tenure in the BKFC, which the Irishman may very well have the authority to do given his status as a part-owner of the promotion. However, there has been no confirmation of his claim, and Perry himself contests McGregor's statement.
For now, he is resting and is unlikely to fight again in 2024 after the damage he sustained against Paul. However, he is expected to return in 2025 with a vengeance.
Mike Perry was once a promising UFC fighter
While Mike Perry has drawn a tremendous amount of attention for his humorous and at times outlandish personality, he was once regarded as a high-potential prospect in the UFC. Before signing with the promotion, he was undefeated at 7-0, having defeated all of his opponents via knockout/TKO.
Check out Mike Perry's knockout of Danny Roberts:
Upon signing with the UFC, he won his first two fights via knockout, before tasting defeat for the first time against Alan Jouban. While 'Platinum' bounced back with a two-fight win streak, he was never the same thereafter, going 3-7 in his next 10 fights before his departure from the UFC.
