Following Mike Perry’s decision loss to Max Griffin at UFC on FOX 28, which left the fighter a bloody mess, the welterweight opened up about his defeat.

Here is some of what the heavy handed fighter had to say about the loss (quote via MMA Junkie):

“I will let you see how life hits sometimes. A couple of stitches there. I ain’t afraid of it, though. It’s all a learning lesson. … No shame in my game. I want to thank the UFC staff of being so kind and taking care of everybody. I want to thank the UFC for setting up this even in my hometown and putting me on the card with a bunch of other great athletes. And, uh, I want to wish you guys a good day while I sit here and ice my face.”

The defeat was Perry’s second straight, as he was coming off a decision loss to Santiago Ponzinibbio.

Few lay it on the line like @PlatinumPerry, and he was gracious enough to share his battle wounds from #UFCOrlando and thank his fans! pic.twitter.com/ckjxVbq0Sj
