Mike Perry fights Robbie Lawler at UFC 255 on November 21, 2020, and will once again have his girlfriend Latory Gonzalez in his corner. In his last fight, she was the sole corner, and Perry had the genius idea of offering the remaining corner spots to the highest bidder.
Whoever gives me the most money can be in my corner with @latory_g ,…

First up was Darren Till, who trolls Perry relentlessly.
“I will pay 5k? Someone tag Perry for me please because I’m still blocked, but I’m deadly serious,” wrote Perry on Instagram.
Now that I’m in @PlatinumPerry ‘s corner,
How much will someone pay me to throw the towel in.?

Two-time XBIZ MILF Performer of the Year Kendra Lust upped the offer to $6,000, but was vetoed by a higher power.
I’ll pay 6k just to be in his corner & cover Darrens travel also we both can be there 😜
— Kendra Lust™ (@KendraLust) October 6, 2020

Adult site Cam Soda upped the offer to $10,000.

And NFL players apparently want in.
Hold your horses… I got a few calls from some of my @NFL clients to potentially corner him… this is crazy!!! https://t.co/JON6CRWQr7

Ohhh fuck off malki!
No one wants to see NFL guys!
The peoples wanna see me!— DT (@darrentill2) October 6, 2020
Not to be outdone, Till has set up a GoFundMe, with the goal of raising over $30,000.
Every single penny gonna go to mike apart from my travel ! Boom!!!
This is how much I love you @PlatinumPerry
Look at the lengths am willing to go for you!
Stop going on with yourself now I won’t terror you anymore tonight! 💜 https://t.co/TSs9E8tccB— DT (@darrentill2) October 6, 2020
Trump-anointed Young Superstar Ben Askren sees the genius afoot.
Has me thinking why did no one smarter than Mike Perry figure out how to sell the experience of being their corner for $$$ before? It is genius https://t.co/sUXfRrdt0R
— Funky 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 (@Benaskren) October 6, 2020
But others claim it’s old hat.
Let me answer that for you @Benaskren || even @joerogan thought it was a great idea back in June when I suggested it. BRILLIANT! Haha pic.twitter.com/GWHd8R09dm

Cody Mckenzie did this a long time ago. He’s the pioneer. https://t.co/Ucb62GtueK

And then, of course, the one thing that everyone has praised Perry for lately turns out to be not a thing.
I was never considering that weak ass 5k offer for the corner spot. My manager was just trolling y’all. @darrentill2 could’ve offered 50k and I wouldn’t have accepted his offer. The media runs the mma game tho so they were just getting off on drama

The plan was an interesting end-run around the UFC’s sponsor ban, but it’s unknown if the regulating body would have licensed whatever NFL player, porn star, or troll won the bid anyway.
