Something is going on with [autotag]Mike Perry[/autotag], and whatever that may be, it isn’t good.
The latest example of this came Sunday night when the UFC welterweight posted a graphic video of himself lying down in an empty hallway, bleeding profusely from his leg. The video starts up close on Perry’s face as he sighs. Then he flips the camera around to show a shattered glass door next to him and a puddle of blood near his feet, the implication being that he may have kicked it himself.
Perry also can be heard whispering, “F*ck am I supposed to do about this? F*ck.”
You can watch the footage below (via Twitter):

Shortly after sharing the video, Perry issued a disturbing tweet potentially incriminating himself.
No matter what I do it’s never enough. So I act out. Happy to spill my own blood.

It’s unclear what those words are supposed to mean, but they had many of his Twitter followers worried about his well being.
Man, please reach out to a family member, friend or anyone you trust. You are going through some shit and you have to get it out without doing stuff like this.

It’s unfortunate to see Perry’s 2021 start this way after his troubling 2020. Last July, Perry was seen on video knocking out an older man with one punch outside of a restaurant in Texas. Just a few months later, Perry’s ex-wife, Danielle Nickerson, detailed serious allegation of a domestic violence during their marriage, which Perry denied.
Perry is expecting his first child soon with his girlfriend and corner person, Latory Gonzalez. Perry, who’s 3-6 in last nine UFC fights, most recently lost by decision to Tim Means at UFC 255.
