10 Stars Whose UFC Careers Will Likely End In 2020

3. Mike Perry

'Platinum' Mike Perry is another popular fighter who finds himself in the midst of a tough stretch in which he's gone 2-5 over the course of his last seven fights.

Perry's over the top personality and aggressive fighting style have helped make him a fan favorite. However, it's that same crowd-friendly style that's gotten him into trouble recently.

It's a bit of catch-22 for 'Platinum' Mike. On the one hand, his aggression and willingness to absorb blows are what makes him so popular. Conversely, it's these same traits that are also causing him to lose fights.

The other issue is that Perry has looked fairly one dimensional thus far. He hasn't shown much in the way of a ground game, which limited his options in terms of how he might change his approach going forward.

The UFC would certainly like to keep Perry around, but if he doesn't figure it out soon, it will be hard to justify doing so.
