Mike Perry issues statement following DUI arrest, apologizes to police
UFC veteran and BKFC fighter Mike Perry has issued an apology following a DUI arrest in Florida.
On Oct. 12, Perry was arrested by Clermont Police Department in Clermont, Fla. He was charged with driving under the influence of alcohol and refusing to sign a citation requiring a court appearance. During the interaction with police, Perry was verbally aggressive, as he used homophobic slurs when addressing officers.
“They know exactly who I am,” Perry said during the traffic stop, captured on police bodycam footage. “They’re f*cking mad. F*ck these f*ggots! Couple of f*ggots! They’re a couple of f*ggots, forget about it!”
Wednesday, Perry issued his first statement since the incident. In the words posted to X, Perry expressed regret for his actions and apologized to the police department. He also vowed to “ensure this type of behavior never happens again.”
Read Perry’s full statement below (via X):
I am writing this to express my deepest apologies for the inappropriate and disrespectful language I used towards members of the Clermont police department. I understand that my words were hurtful and offensive, and I sincerely regret my actions.
I recognize the important and often difficult work that law enforcement officers do to keep our community safe, and I truly respect the dedication and sacrifice that comes with the job. My behavior was inexcusable, and I take full responsibility for my actions.
Please know that this incident does not reflect how I truly feel about the [Police Department/Officers], and I will make every effort to ensure this type of behavior never happens again. I hope you can accept my apology as sincere, and I will be more mindful and respectful in the future.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
Perry, 33, is to appear in court on Oct. 30.
“Platinum” Perry has been dubbed BKFC’s “King of Violence” after defeating Eddie Alvarez last December. He then defeated fellow UFC veteran Thiago Alves in April, which led to a traditional gloved boxing match against YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul in July. Perry lost that fight by stoppage in Round 6.
Perry does not currently have a fight scheduled.

Michel Pereira predicts finish of Anthony Hernandez
LAS VEGAS – Although he’s fighting in the main event, Michel Pereira doesn’t think he’ll need the full 25 minutes to get his hand raised at UFC Fight Night 245.
Pereira (31-11 MMA, 9-2 UFC), a rising middleweight contender, takes on Anthony Hernandez in the main event of Saturday’s UFC event at the UFC Apex. This is an interesting bout, as Pereira has been stopping his opposition and Hernandez (12-2 MMA, 6-2 UFC) hasn’t been finished in four years. Pereira is confident he can end Hernandez’s run.
“I got very prepared, I’m very ready for this to go five rounds, but I do not think this fight is going to go five rounds,” Pereira told reporters through an interpreter at the UFC Fight Night 245 media day on Wednesday. “Let’s wait and see what happens, but I do not believe this fight is going five rounds.”
In most betting houses, Hernandez enters UFC Fight Night 245 as a slight favorite. Pereira, who’s riding an eight-fight winning streak, is more than fine with being the underdog in this contest and thinks “Fluffy” has done enough to deserve to be favored ahead of their bout.
“I don’t pay attention to that because I do think he’s coming off four or five straight wins in the division, so I understand why people would say that,” Pereira said. “It’s the merit to his credit, much respect to him. I’m accomplishing that, and I’m making my own accomplishments right now. That’s what I’m going to get to in this division as well.”
