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.
The UFC said it will not be offering Perry his next bout at this time. Perry, his team and the UFC have 'agreed to evaluate next steps for Perry following the completion of his treatment program,' the promotion's statement said.

According to the incident report obtained by ESPN, Perry is accused of striking multiple people at Lubbock establishment Table 82 on Tuesday night.
A video of Perry, 28, dropping an older man with a punch surfaced Wednesday night on social media. In the aftermath of the skirmish, Perry could be heard yelling racial slurs.
'UFC is aware and troubled by the video that was released last night concerning Mike Perry,' the UFC's statement read. 'The conduct displayed by Perry is not reflective of that of our organization. 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.'
According to the incident report, the situation started prior to Perry punching the man. Perry was at the establishment with his girlfriend, Latory Gonzalez, who cornered Perry in his most recent fight. Another male patron of the restaurant told police he got into a verbal altercation with Perry and challenged him to a fight. The male patron said one of Gonzalez's friends got between them, and Perry reached around her and slapped him in the face.
The Table 82 general manager told police that Perry hit the male patron, hit Gonzalez's friend and then struck another man who had left the scene.
