The BKFC star was booked into jail at 4:36 a.m. and released at 9:41 a.m. after posting a $1,500 bond. Perry is scheduled to appear in court on Oct. 30. Perry could face up to 60 days in jail for the charges, both of which are second-degree misdemeanors in Florida. It was Perry’s first DUI offense, per court records.
Perry has emerged as BKFC’s biggest star in recent years, posting a 5-0 record in the promotion. He owns notable wins over the likes of Michael Page, Eddie Alvarez, Luke Rockhold and Thiago Alves in BKFC competition. Most recently, “Platinum” suffered a sixth-round knockout loss to Jake Paul in a boxing match this past July.
