The controversial fighter has come under criticism in the past for using the racial slur, which he defends by saying online DNA tests say that he's 2% black, according to MMA Junkie. 

Perry has also posted some troubling tweets in recent days, with one saying, "If you see us in public and you get too close, I’m gonna hit you." He appeared to reference the video in his most recent tweet, which reads, "No comment."

Perry last fought on June 27, defeating Mickey Gall by unanimous decision. He is 14-6 in his career, and 7-6 in UFC competitions.
