The UFC says it is 'troubled' by the actions of fighter Mike Perry, who was involved in a physical altercation at a bar this week that was caught on video in which he also yelled racial slurs.

In a statement Thursday, the UFC said Perry has apologized and 'committed to immediately seek professional treatment, including substance and behavioral counseling,' after a video that showed Perry punching a man at a Texas restaurant surfaced online Wednesday night.

Perry apologized for his behavior and acknowledged he was disappointed with himself that his actions may have reflected poorly on UFC. He further acknowledged that he believes he has some issues related to alcohol abuse and has informed UFC that he has committed to immediately seek professional treatment, including substance and behavioral counseling. At this time, UFC has informed Perry that he will not be offered a bout, and the parties have agreed to evaluate next steps for Perry following the completion of his treatment program.'
