UFC President Dana White has given his first public statement on Mike Perry’s recent troubles.
In a video that surfaced Wednesday night, Perry was seen punching an older man following a dispute at a restaurant in Lubbock, Texas. According to a police report, the UFC welterweight allegedly struck at least three different victims with one claiming that he also struck a woman trying to break up the initial altercation.
Perry was able to avoid arrest after the incident, but the UFC took matters into their own hands.
On Thursday, the promotion released a statement stating that Perry will not be offered a bout until he completes a professional treatment program.
