PUBLICITY:

Former UFC fighter and current BKFC star, Mike Perry starred in yet another controversial chapter in his life. After being arrested last Saturday (12) for driving under the influence of alcohol, a video with images of his arrest was released by TMZ Sports, revealing shocking details of the athlete's interaction with the police.

The officer's body camera footage shows Perry denying having consumed any alcohol, despite police reports of a strong odor of alcohol coming from the fighter. The argument between the two escalated when the former UFC fighter refused to take a breathalyzer test and refused to exit the vehicle.

When being handcuffed, Mike Perry, visibly upset, directed a series of homophobic insults at the police officers. The athlete's foul language and aggressive attitude contrasted with the calm demonstrated by the officers throughout the approach.

“I’m getting arrested because I’m not doing no stupid sobriety test. So relax honey, I’ll be home soon. They know exactly who I am. They’re going crazy. F*** these b****es, a couple of b****es. They’re a couple of b****es, forget it,” Perry told his wife, Latory.

'How about this?'

Perry's anger was further intensified when one of the officers found a receipt in the fighter's pocket.

“Take a look at that receipt, you motherf***er. Your wife ain’t got nothing that cost that much. How about this, you motherf***er. Put that shit on Instagram,” he concluded.

After his arrest, Perry was released on bail. The fighter could be sentenced to up to 60 days in jail and pay a fine of US$500 (around R$2,8).

He awaits trial, scheduled for October 30.
