UFC welterweight Mike Perry was caught on video punching an older man after an apparent dispute at a restaurant.
Perry, 28, punched the man after a verbal dispute as an unknown woman tried to lead him out of the restaurant. Perry told the man, “I’ll knock your old ass out” before throwing a punch that appeared to knock the man down. Patrons of the bar can be heard gasping, and security appears to intervene as Perry sits outside on a bench.
Police in Lubbock, Texas, confirmed to MMA Fighting a man matching Perry’s full name – Michael Joseph Perry – and date of birth was involved in an alleged assault on July 7 at Table 82 in Lubbock, Texas, where Perry’s girlfriend, Latory Gonzalez lives and where the UFC welterweight trained for his most recent fight.
