the american Mike Perry, who made his UFC debut by knocking out Korean Hyun Gyu Lim last Saturday (20), at UFC 202, revealed on the “MMA Hour” program (USA) that he is on probation for a crime committed years ago, when he wasn't even a fighter professional. The fighter did not detail the episode in greater detail, but explained his current situation.

“I am on probation, so I have to appear at the Court of Justice. I was arrested about six years ago for robbery. I got three years of community service and three years of probation,” Perry confessed. He also said that he needs to ask permission for every trip he needs to take to compete in the UFC, just like he did before his last fight.

Mike said he went to prison for six months when he violated his probation. However, he now has permission to travel, which allows him to work in other places. According to the fighter, the punishment ends in June next year, when he will be free before the courts.

At 24 years old, Mike Perry has a 100% success record, with eight victories. The curious thing is that all of them were by knockout, with only two making it past the first round.
