Earlier today, the longtime girlfriend of UFC welterweight fighter Platinum Mike Perry, also known as the “Platinum Princess” or Danielle Nickerson, posted a 400 word statement confirming that she has broken up with Mike.
For years now this duo has been side-by-side, training and fighting together. Nickerson has also been a staple of Perry’s on UFC fight week, serving as his corner-woman and open workout partner.
It seemed like this UFC couple was destined for matrimony, but the “princess” revealed that Mike Perry has had wondering eyes, and she could no longer take it.
Her statement read:
“PLEASE READ IN FULL!! Mike & I are no longer together. I wanted to explain what is going on because there are so many people who have shown me/us so much love and support and have invested into us, and felt like you guys deserve answers. I also don’t want to get hundreds of comments on my photos from here on out about, ‘where’s Mike’ ‘why aren’t you together’ and such.
“I am a huge believer in God & that everything happens for a reason and everyone in your life is there for a reason. Mike and I are not meant to be together in a relationship but only to be friends and support each other through life.
“No one can ever know what happens behind closed doors, no matter how great things may seem through social media. We are human and we all make mistakes, Mike unfortunately has a wondering eye and this time it wondered too far and I couldn’t accept anymore. No physical cheating happened but enough was said that I hit a limit I couldn’t return from. I am not mad. I don’t hate him at all. I hope to remain friends and be someone he knows will always tell him how it is and can always receive honest advice from. I have no regrets at all, only wonderful memories of good times.
“I wish him nothing but the very best and still know that one day he will achieve his dream of becoming UFC welterweight champion. ‘Que sera, sera’ whatever will be will be, the futures not ours to see.
“I am excited to embark on my new life journey. I have no idea where it will take me, the places I will go, or the people I will meet. If you would like to come along with me on this journey I invite you to stay and see where it goes and if you have no interest I can completely understand.
“Thank you for the continued love and support. Xo (This did not happen this week or weekend, it’s been awhile. There is also no need and I really prefer no one dm me things about what he’s doing or putting on his story etc) thank you.”
Now, here we are, just a few hours removed from this revelation, and Mike Perry seems to have no problems with moving on, as he is now with a new girl, showing her off while the couple spend the afternoon at the beach.
