Two of them were in boxing. The first came at the hands of the unheralded Kenneth McNeil in 2015 and the second was a sixth-round stoppage loss to Jake Paul last year.

Between his two boxing knockouts, there was also a TKO loss to Geoff ‘Handz of Steel’ Neal at UFC 245 in December 2019.

Early in the first round, Neal caught Perry with a huge head kick that sent Perry reeling backwards against the cage.

Neal pursued Perry like a man possessed and reigned down heavy kicks and punches to close the show.

While Perry admits he rarely feels punches until after his fights, Neal’s kick left a lasting impression.

“I mean, I guess the hardest I’ve ever been hit was probably Geoff Neal kicking me in the face,” he told talkSPORT.com.

“He then followed up with some more punches and kicks to the face.

“It was that kick. I remember that kick. When he kicked me everything went black and white and it was like a dream.
