Prefight antics are steadily becoming synonymous with the name Mike Perry.
In his latest bizarre show of gamesmanship, the young welterweight snapped a Polaroid of Alan Jouban when the pair faced off at Friday's ceremonial weigh-ins ahead of UFC on FOX 22. Jouban didn't take the bait, though, swatting the photo away when Perry offered it to him, to which "Platinum" briefly responded with some parting words.
The sluggers had engaged in a war of words on Twitter before the ink of their contracts was dry, and they'll get to settle it with their fists when they open the event's main card on Saturday.
Strawweights Paige VanZant and Michelle Waterson brought some levity to the proceedings moments later, staging an impromptu dance-off before their respectful staredown.

The pair of 115-pounders will ditch the niceties when they headline Saturday's card at the Golden 1 Center in Sacramento.
