A video has emerged showing UFC star Mike Perry punching an older man outside a Texas restaurant:
The 28-year-old professional fighter was leaving Table 82 in Lubbock, Texas, after he was asked to do so following a disturbance, when he got into an altercation as he's walking out.

The incident happened at around 10.30pm on Tuesday evening (7 July) and Perry can also be heard repeatedly using the n-word.
At the beginning of the video, a woman can be heard saying: "Go Mike," before he starts arguing with her about ringing the police.
He says: "I don't have to go anywhere. Are you bringing the cops?" Then he goes on to address what looks like a member of staff: "Did you touch me? Oh, you didn't touch me?" As the woman in the video explains: "He was trying to calm you down."

A balding man then chimes in alleging: "You hit him," before Perry tells him: "I'll knock your old ass out too. Let's go then, you fat piece of s***."
At this point, the older man walks towards Perry before dropping to the floor as people start to scream and shout.
Then the camera captures the aftermath as people are asking Perry: "Please, stop," he says: "Call the police. I didn't do s***. No n****, f*** you, n****."

A woman is crying hysterically in front of Perry asking: "Why does he have to do this?" To which he replies: "He shouldn't touch me," before adding: "You ain't on my side b**ch, you ain't on my side b**ch."
LADbible has reached out to Table 82 for a comment. The restaurant told TMZ: "Pending the criminal investigation, we prefer not to comment further because one of the victims was an employee of our company who had asked Mr Perry to leave."
Since the incident happened, Perry has posted a number of tweets. None relate entirely to the incident, but the most recent simply reads: "No comment."

Police confirmed to LADbible that three men said they'd been hit by Perry, with one taken to Covenant Medical Center to treat his injuries.
