Alan Jouban Vows To Finish ‘Jersey Shore Wannabe’ Mike Perry
Alan Jouban is scheduled to fight Mike Perry in a welterweight bout at UFC on FOX 22 in December and has already started talking trash Perry.
Perry, who is an up and coming fighter that has put fear in his opponent by earning all nine of his career wins by knockout, six in the first round. However, Jouban has other plans for the fight and explained what he thinks will happen when the two enter the world famous octagon during a recent appearance on the MMA H.E.A.T. podcast.
“It’s going to be a barnburner – we’re going to want to take each other out before the closing bell,” Jouban said. “He’s a bit of a newbie to the UFC – he’s only had two fights in the UFC, but both of his fights have been within three months of each other. … He’s 9-0 with nine knockouts, so he’s a fun guy to watch, and he’s a big (expletive) talker, so it’s actually working out. He’s not the name or the ranking that I wanted, but he’s another guy that will generate a lot of buzz.”
Jouban elaborated on Perry’s personality during the podcast as he compared him to the male cast members of the MTV reality series “Jersey Shore,” which was a big hit during its time on the air.
“I definitely watched all the seasons of ‘Jersey Shore,’ I was a fan,” Jouban said. “He reminds me of all the ‘Jersey Shore’ guys. He didn’t make it into the house (for the show). He talks a lot of trash. We’ve been going back-and-forth on Twitter. But at the end of the day, it’s bringing attention to the fight. It’s making me want to punch him in the face a lot more than when I found out I’m going to be fighting him.”
Perry got wind of Jouban’s comments and reacted via his official Twitter account:
you got a weird thing for me kid. That's fine. But your jersey shore reject ass will finished in this fight!! 💯
