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.

Strange. I always correlated face tattoos with excellent decision making.

Ha. Yes, it’s right on brand. It’s almost underwhelming.

I don’t know what the over/under on his lifespan or doing serious prison time would be, but the fact that he is wild to begin with and his career involves blocking punches with his face…

He’s in the same group as guys like Baroni and War Machine.

Oh Man :frowning:
