“My First Fight” is The Blue Corner’s animated series of tales in which MMA fighters share their experience fighting inside the cage for the first time.

Perry (11-3 MMA, 4-3 UFC) fights this Saturday at UFC 226 from T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, where he meets Paul Felder (15-3 MMA, 7-3 UFC) in an FS1-televised prelim.
