Mike Perry apologizes to UFC, promises to be ‘better role model’

With a son on the way, Mike Perry wants to turn over a new leaf three weeks after being accused of assaulting three people at a Lubbock, Texas, restaurant.

The UFC welterweight said he wants to be “a better role model” for Latory Gonzalez, who four days ago announced she is pregnant, so he could “earn the respect I deserve.” He also apologized to his promoter and sponsors for reflecting negatively on them in his recent brush with the law.

Here’s his full tweet.

I want to be a better role model for my family.
