Perry has since explained that he is taking some time away to work on his game after a run of poor form.
“I am trying to progress. I have built bad habit,” Perry wrote on social media. I needed to take time off and my hand still hurts from the one time I punched Drod. I want to be in the gym training and focused before I accepted anything. Trying to be a real professional. Prep takes time. Plus I’m moving July.”

Kevin Lee Announces Move Up To Welterweight, Pitches Mike Perry Fight
Kevin Lee is committed to moving back to the welterweight division, and he already has an interesting choice for his ideal opponent.
“The Motown Phenom” Kevin Lee has long advertised that his goal in the UFC was to become the lightweight champion. Originally, his goal was to achieve this by the age of 25 to validate his “25 to life” slogan, but after a key loss to Tony Ferguson at UFC 216, the slogan got an early release courtesy of El Cucuy serving as its executioner. And apparently, what was left of Lee’s stint in the lightweight division has also been snuffed out following other big losses to Al Iaquinta and Charles Oliveira.

Kevin Lee Targets Return Against Tony Ferguson
Kevin Lee is looking to run things back with Tony Ferguson.
After Lee suffered a submission loss to Charles Oliveira at UFC Brasilia, he said he wanted to take some time off. Although the goal was to still train, he ended up tearing both his knees and needing double knee surgery. He was forced to take some time off and is now starting to ramp it back up.
As he is starting to train again, Lee says he is about 80 percent healthy and is already looking forward to this return fight. According to “The Motown Phenom,” he wants to face Tony Ferguson in his return.
