INGLEWOOD, Calif. (AP) — Mike Perry beat Nate Diaz in a two-round welterweight brawl Saturday night on the undercard of Ronda Rousey’s comeback fight against Gina Carano.
Perry (15-8) earned his first victory in mixed martial arts since June 2020 with 10 minutes of steady punishment for the 41-year-old Diaz (21-14), who had been away from the MMA cage for nearly four years. Perry was quicker and more active than Diaz, whose face and chest were covered in blood during the second round.
Perry threw a flying knee that sent Diaz sprawling at the second-round bell, and referee Mike Beltran waved off the fight moments later in agreement with Diaz’s corner.
“He’s the toughest guy out there,” Perry said about Diaz, who was the vocal crowd favorite in his native California. “There’s no quit in him. ... The entire crowd was cheering for him so loud.”
