Mike Perry issues apology after bizarre, violent behaviour

“I want to be a better role model for my family"

After a string of controversies, Mike Perry has decided to issue an apology for his behaviour.

From using racial slurs to threatening potential opponent’s family members to his latest transgression, in which he knocked out an older man at a bar after a heated argument, the UFC welterweight lives up to his controversial reputation. It was, however, the incident in which he assaulted an older man that seems to have been the straw that broke the camels back.

Now, taking to social media, Perry has decided to apologise for his controversial, aggressive behaviour.

“I want to be a better role model for my family,” Mike Perry wrote in his open apology. “For my unborn son. My Queen Latory Gonzalez and for myself so I can earn the respect I deserve. To my sponsors and my bosses at UFC. I want to apologize for how my actions have impacted our relationships. I will be better all around.”

Perry apologized for his behaviour and acknowledged he was disappointed with himself that his actions may have reflected poorly on UFC. He further acknowledged that he believes he has some issues related to alcohol abuse and has informed UFC that he has committed to immediately seek professional treatment, including substance and behaviour counselling.
