Kevin Lee doesn’t understand why Mike Perry turned him down.<\/p>\n

After Sean Brady was forced out of his August 28 fight against Kevin Lee, “The Motown Phenom” said to BJPENN.com he wanted to remain on the card<\/a> and that is the case. Lee will now face a short-notice replacement, Daniel Rodriguez<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Yet, one opponent Lee called out was Perry<\/a>, but he says “Platinum” turned him down. Due to that, Lee says he lost respect for Perry for turning him down.<\/p>\n

\u201cMike Perry would have been a good one,\u201d Lee told\u00a0Submission Radio <\/a>(via MMAJunkie<\/a>). \u201cThat would have been a good name. Honestly, it would have been a softball, and I was kind of looking for a softball. I ain\u2019t had one yet in my career, and Perry would have been that. But he didn\u2019t want to give it to me. So me and him, I lost a lot of respect for the man after that. I asked for that fight in May. He said give him a little bit more time. So I moved on and wanted to fight Sean Brady in July.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe said he needed a few more weeks up there in July, but then Aug. 28 rolls around and he still ain\u2019t say nothing. So I lost a lot of respect for the man,” Lee continued. “And I say one thing, and it\u2019s going to be the end of it between me and him: He can never say he\u2019s from Michigan again. If I hear it, anything come out of his mouth, that he\u2019s from Flint, that he\u2019s from Michigan, we\u2019re going to have some serious problems. There ain\u2019t going to be none of that picture-taking and hand-shaking when he sees me. That\u2019s not how we get down where I\u2019m from.\u201d<\/p>\n

Although Lee is disappointed Perry turned the fight down, the good news is he will remain on the card and fight at UFC Vegas 35.<\/p>\n
