UFC welterweight Mike Perry received some heavy backlash for using a racial slur during his online feud with Michael Jai White.<\/p>\n

‘Platinum’ and ‘MJW’ have been busy exchanging jabs at one another on Twitter, this after Perry took issue with an old video of White training with the late great Kimbo Slice<\/a>.<\/p>\n

According to Perry, he did not like the tone in which White was speaking to Kimbo in the video and thus wanted to fight him in a backyard bare knuckle match to seemingly avenge Mr. Ferguson.<\/p>\n

After Michael Jai White poked fun at Mike Perry’s recent losing streak, ‘Platinum’ fired back with the following controversial remarks.<\/p>\n

“Blood and bone, more like a b*tch ass n*gga Michael Jai White.”<\/p>\n

Perry’s use of the N-Word did not sit well with some people, including fellow UFC fighter Angela Hill, who proceeded to slam ‘Platinum’ on social media for his comments (see that here<\/a>).<\/p>\n

Mike Perry recently took to Twitter<\/a> where he addressed the backlash with the following messages.<\/p>\n

\n

You have to make a big deal out of this. A white man said that to you because you straight up being one. Y\u2019all can\u2019t act like you don\u2019t hear me. It was bull shit he was trying to slander a real gangsta so people would think he more than an actor. For #FLA<\/a> we say #FOH<\/a><\/p>\n
