Alan Jouban versus Mike Perry is still nearly a month away, but already Jouban has had enough of Perry’s trash talking.

Speaking to the MMA Roasted podcast, Jouban detailed the extent to which Perry has been trying to engage with him on social media and what exactly he made of it all.

“Every morning it’s just the same s***,” Jouban said. “It’s just like stupid s*** like “I’m going to f*** your face with my fist” and I’m like bro what kind of weird a** s*** is that? He’s just like “f*** you Jouban”.

“It’s the stupidest responses man and I feel like I could murder this guy if I wanted, but I just don’t have the time or the effort. He’s just like a troll man, a troll. If he’s just sitting there all day in his mother’s basement tweeting, you all day you are never going to win.”

For the most part, Jouban has not chosen to engage back and believes silence is the best treatment. Suffice to say, Jouban doesn’t have the highest opinion of his American colleague given what’s going on already.

“I’m just going to sleep peacefully [and not reply] while I’m all in his head,” Jouban said. “He’s a douchebag man and I don’t want to get too much into it. I’m not a guy that likes to throw around a lot of insults and I’m not really a negative guy in that way.

“But, if a guy is pushing you around, I’m going to push back. It’s like he’s always trying to do that and it’s a bit like he’s a bit confused. This will be his third fight in the UFC in like five or six months so I don’t know if this really is who this guy’s identity is, or if he’s just new and thinks he needs to do the Conor McGregor thing and win two fights and get all the media talking about it.

“That’s fine and he’s created some buzz about the fight, but I think he’s lost in it and I think he’s going to realize what he’s saying and that he doesn’t have to do this every fight.”

Since entering the organization back at UFC 202, Perry has won himself plenty of fans with his brash talking and exciting fights. Jouban however, couldn’t understand why some fans were so quick to align with him.

“It’s not a likeable bunch, but it’s funny because they have a small following,” Jouban said, speaking about Perry and his teammate Alex Nicholson. “It bugs me because this following that follows this guy, yeah I like to see exciting fights and this guy puts on exciting fights I respect that, but as a person, but if you are following this guy and going like #TeamPlatinum or #TeamPerry that just means you’re a lost sheep.

“You can get some guy pounding his chest with tattoos on his face and saying stupid s*** and suddenly you’re on his team, then you’re a moron.”

While Jouban isn’t one to shy away from building up a fight, he believes that it could be done in a much more respectful way and he pointed to the way he’d gone about things recently as an example of how to do that.

“I don’t mind if it’s done in a competitive nature,” Jouban said. “Look, in the last 6 weeks I called out Matt Brown, Patrick Cote and Donald Cerrone. I’m not saying my way is the right way, each guy has their own way of doing it, but I had respect for this guys so I said “look Matt Brown I’m looking for a top-15 guy fight in December what have you got planned?”.

“I’m not talking s*** on his family or anything. He [Perry] is saying I’m going to make you my bitch and f*** your pretty little face up. Long story short, I’m not losing any sleep over this guy, but it puts that extra little incentive in there to knock this guy out and shut his mouth for sure.”
