Yes he does. That didn’t stop Donald from offering to step up and face Perry at 226 despite his girlfriend being ready to give birth to his son. He was on medical suspension though. These guys prove you don’t have to hate someone to throw down and see who the better man is on a given night. Love it!

Donald has said many times he'd fight anyone, including teammates. It's an interesting perspective for sure, but he sees it as a sport and thinks that they beat up on eachother in the gym for free, so why not get paid? It's just competing in a sport to him, not an "I'll kick you're ass if we fight" mentality.

Tkz and Platinum all day

That’s a rough fight for TKZ.

If Perry Follows the “don’t let Cerrone be your friend” game plan he could very well win, but, if Donald gets comfortable and finds his range it will be a bad night for Platinum.

That’s a rough fight for TKZ.

might be true.

cuz I never seen him defend wrestling in fight too much although TKZ has judo and sambo experience.

Bermudez was a descent wrestler but he got put out and He fended off Poirer well but not as high caliber wrestler.

interesting to see how he deals with Edgar's footwork and wrestling

both going down hill at this point in both of their careers

 

[Dick Niaz]

Frankie by being relentless. Donald by better technique.

 

[Robbie Hart]

I hope perry tees off on cerrone.....how is this being dealt with?

Perry is fighting under Jackson and Sonia Cerrone, right?

Is this going to be like the Browne vs overeem fight where they split the camp?

 

[Wild]

Let’s hope they all make it to the octagon.

Let’s hope they all make it to the octagon.

I feel like this post needs an “amen”

 

[Sex Chicken]

Don’t like the TKZ Edgar fight, bad matchup for TKZ. There are a lot more interesting fights out there for him, than getting taken down and schooled on the ground.

Platinum/Cowboy is a dream match

Let’s hope they all make it to the octagon.

LOL. Well now the whole card is jinxed and no one will make it.

Thank Wild everybody.

Thanks @Wild

bad matchup for cerrone who still can start slow, isn't big enough hitter to get perrys respect and is the lesser athlete and less durable fighter
