Mike Perry has warned Colby Covington not to catch a glimpse of him in Las Vegas next month during fight week in the lead up to UFC 245 (Dec. 14) or be prepared for a scuffle.

The highly-anticipated Ultimate Fighting Championship card rounds off the promotion’s last pay-per-view event of the year and features three title fights, including Kamaru Usman vs. Colby Covington at welterweight, Max Holloway vs. Alexander Volkanovski at featherweight and Amanda Nunes vs. Germaine de Randamie for the women’s bantamweight belt.

Perry, who is scheduled to take on Geoff Neal at the top of the undercard, made an appearance on ESPN’s “Ariel Helwani MMA Show” and said Covington should brace himself if he sees him next month (via MMAJunkie.com).

“I’m going to give Covington a problem all week long,” Perry said on Ariel Helwani’s MMA Show. “Lets see if he’s thinking about the right things when he gets in the ring. I hope he hears about this, and if he catches sight of me, it’s on sight.”

“I won’t be looking for him -- I’ll be looking to do my own thing -- but if I catch a glimpse, you know, I might sneak over,” Perry said.

“Maybe he’s looking for clout because he can’t get none with that crotch-sniffing style.”
