BKFC star Mike Perry was arrested in Florida on Oct. 12 on a pair of charges, including driving under the influence.

Lake County Sheriff’s Office records confirm that Perry was arrested by the Clermont Police Department on Oct. 12 at 1:04 a.m. local time for the driving under the influence charge, along with an offense of refusing to sign a citation requiring a court appearance, both second-degree misdemeanors. It was Perry’s first DUI offense, according to arrest records.

Perry was released on $1,500 bond later that morning, and is scheduled to appear in court on Oct. 30. The potential penalties for a second-degree misdemeanor in the State of Florida include a maximum of 60 days in jail and a fine of up to $500.

The former UFC welterweight transitioned to the world of bare-knuckle boxing, becoming the face of BKFC. Perry is 5-0 in the promotion, including wins over Michael Page, Eddie Alvarez, and Luke Rockhold. In his most recent BKFC appearance, “Platinum” stopped past UFC title challenger Thiago Alves in 60 seconds at BKFC’s KnuckleMania 4 in April.

Following the win over Alves, Perry took on Jake Paul in the main event of a July boxing card in Tampa, where he suffered a sixth-round knockout loss.

Davante Adams has his new home.

The New York Jets have acquired the star receiver from the Las Vegas Raiders for a conditional third-round pick that can turn into a second-round pick, ESPN reported on Tuesday. Adams requested a trade from the Raiders earlier in October, signaling the end of his time in Las Vegas after two-plus seasons. 

With the deal, the Jets reunite Aaron Rodgers with the wide receiver he’s had the most success throwing to in his career. Rodgers and Adams formed one of the best quarterback-wide receiver duos in the league during their eight seasons together with the Green Bay Packers. 

Adams was named a Pro Bowler five times and earned two first-team All-Pro nods during his time with Rodgers, leading the league in touchdown receptions during the 2020 season. Meanwhile, Rodgers won the MVP in his final two seasons with Adams before Green Bay traded the receiver to Las Vegas in 2022.

When Adams requested a trade, it was reported that he had the Jets high on his wish list because of his relationship with Rodgers. The quarterback had also expressed a desire to play with Adams again, saying in July that he can’t wait to play with him “again” someday.

That day has arrived. Adams will join a wide receiver corps in New York with notable names, but a passing attack that has been underwhelming to open the season. Garrett Wilson has 41 receptions for just 399 yards and three touchdowns through the Jets’ first six games. Allen Lazard, another former Packer, has 26 receptions for 354 yards and five touchdowns to open the year.

Rodgers has completed 61.8% of his passes for only 1,387 yards, nine touchdowns and five interceptions through the first six contests. As Rodgers hasn’t been incredibly productive, New York ranks 22nd in total offense and 23rd in scoring through the first six weeks as it’s off to a 2-4 start following a loss to the AFC East rival Buffalo Bills on Monday night.

The Jets fired head coach Robert Saleh following their Week 5 loss as a result of their early-season struggles, and elevated quarterbacks coach Todd Downing to play-caller over offensive coordinator Nathaniel Hackett in an attempt to spark their offense.

Adams, who turns 32 in December, has missed the Raiders’ last two games due to a hamstring injury. It was previously reported that the injury was considered a week-to-week issue, possibly allowing Adams to play his first game with his new team this weekend. He had 18 receptions for 209 yards and a touchdown through the Raiders’ first three games. 

Adams still has two seasons left on the five-year, $140 million deal he signed with the Raiders upon his arrival in 2022. His deal has an out, though, following this season and has no remaining guaranteed money on his deal for the next two years.  

The Raiders acquired Adams for a first-round pick and second-round pick in the 2022 NFL Draft in March 2022.

Dana White, once again, is not happy with his own UFC rankings panel.

The UFC CEO has had an issue with the rankings panel for several months in regards to Jon Jones not being ranked the top pound-for-pound fighter despite not competing in well over 18 months. Additionally, White slammed his panel for having Max Holloway ranked seven spots behind Justin Gaethje in the lightweight rankings after Holloway knocked out the former interim champ to win the BMF title at UFC 300, and has been pushing for A.I. to take things over.

In the latest ripping of the panel, White used Khalil Rountree being ranked No. 8 after giving Alex Pereira a run for his money at UFC 307 earlier this month before getting knocked out in the fourth round.

“The morons strike again,” White said in an Instagram story. “Khalil Rountree fights that bad ass fight against Pereira, and the morons rank him No. 8 — keep him at No. 8.

“Literally this week, I have a meeting to try to fix the rankings, and get all these no-nothing motherf*ckers out of it. So hopefully this week I get this fixed.”

White will hopefully provide more details on his plans following Tuesday’s DWCS Season 8, Week 10 card.

Mike Valle is excited for the challenge of helping Belal Muhammad hand Shavkat Rakhmonov his first loss.

Welterweight champion Muhammad (24-3 MMA, 15-3 UFC) makes his first title defense against Rakhmonov (18-0 MMA, 6-0 UFC) in the UFC 310 headliner on Dec. 7 at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas (ESPN+ pay-per-view, ESPN2, ESPN+).

Valle knows what it’s like to coach underdogs to a world title, where he’s recently been in the corner for Muhammad’s title win over Leon Edwards at UFC 304, then Julianna Peña’s title win over Raquel Pennington at UFC 307.

“It’s a great challenge,” Valle told MMA Junkie. “It’s a great code to crack. I can’t wait for it. There’s all this hype behind him and he’s a great guy. He’s a great fighter, too. Belal is unreal, too. He’s the best in the world at fighting.

“And he’s the best in the world at going back, going sideways, putting pressure, not going to the ground. So it doesn’t matter where the fight may take place. He’s willing to go forward, go back, go to the side, fight on top, fight behind. It really doesn’t scare us. Whatever it is, let’s go.”

It’s been a long road for Muhammad, who had to go on a 10-fight unbeaten streak to finally earn his title shot. Valle says he knew from the start that Muhammad had championship potential.

“It’s been a journey with him, and whenever I saw Belal walk in for the first time in my gym, I told him, ‘Dude, you’re going to be a world champion,’” Valle said. “I mean that. That was the first time I saw him there: ‘You’re going to be a world champion’ because I saw something in his eyes and his work ethic. … He’s nonstop. It’s been a journey for him. He’s worked hard for that journey, and I’m so proud of him.”

Southgate spent eight years in charge of England and is the only manager bar 1966 World Cup winner Sir Alf Ramsey to lead the England men’s team into a major tournament final, doing so at Euro 2020 and Euro 2024.

He managed England at four major tournaments, also reaching the World Cup semi-finals in 2018 and quarter-finals in 2022.

Carsley has overseen three victories and one defeat in the Nations League since stepping up to cover the role.

Like Southgate, Carsley was previously England Under-21s boss and guided the team to the European U21 Championship in 2023.

After winning his first two games as interim England manager, Carsley tasted defeat against Greece at Wembley on Thursday before Finland were beaten 3-1 in Helsinki on Sunday.

Following the loss to Greece, Carsley said he would “hopefully be going back to the under-21s”.

After the win over Finland, the 50-year-old insisted it was “definitely” wrong to say he had ruled himself out of the running for the permanent job, but said England deserve a “world-class coach” and conceded he “is still on the path to that”.

Among the names previously linked with the permanent vacancy are Newcastle manager Eddie Howe and former Brighton and Chelsea boss Graham Potter.
