Last night, during the UFC’s latest trip to Nashville, Tennessee, polarizing welterweight striker “Platinum” Mike Perry picked up a knockout of the year contender, shutting the veteran Jake Ellenberger off with a slashing, second-round elbow.<\/p>\n

Given that this is the fourth strike-induced stoppage on Ellenberger’s recent record, it’s been suggested by some members of the MMA community that he would be wise to retire<\/a>. In the opinion of Perry himself, who authored Ellenberger’s latest knockout loss, this may indeed be the case.<\/p>\n

\u201cMaybe it\u2019s time to hang up the gloves,” Perry told MMAJunkie.com<\/a> of his UFC Nashville opponent. “I\u2019d be happy to be his last fight. Maybe he\u2019ll come back and beat somebody else \u2013\u00a0I don\u2019t know.\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

While Perry admitted that Ellenberger could be closing in on the end of the road, he went on to assure that his power strikes are capable of ending the night of any opponent \u2013 prospect or veteran.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen I throw power, man, people go down,\u201d he said. \u201cThat\u2019s the way it\u2019s always been. I looked right at him. I didn\u2019t even feel the elbow. It was so smooth, so swift. It just breezed by like the wind. \u2026 I wished him goodnight.\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Perry then explained that, because his knockouts are so clean, they don’t require any followup strikes, which he believes makes them less damaging in the long-term.<\/p>\n

\u201cY\u2019all hear how I talk about these people,\u201d he said. \u201cI don\u2019t think I\u2019m going to be the guy that\u2019s going to be the first guy to kill somebody in the UFC. I think that I have clean knockouts, and with a clean knockout, people go to sleep. Then they wake up, they heal up. He\u2019ll be fine.”<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
