Platinum Perry admits to getting physical with multiple people — but insists he was only reacting after the others had touched him first … including the man he knocked down on video.
A witness told police that during the altercation at Perry’s table, the UFC fighter struck a woman who was ID’d as a friend of Perry’s girlfriend. Unclear if she was injured in the incident.
The whole incident started when Perry got into a physical altercation with someone at his table at the Table 82 restaurant in Lubbock, TX around 10:30 PM on Tuesday night.
The restaurant staffer approached Perry — who had been ordering Berry Mojitos — and asked him to leave the restaurant.
But instead of leaving, the witness says Perry PUNCHED the employee in the eye. We’re told the employee suffered injuries.

You can see people — including Perry’s girlfriend — are trying to get Mike to leave the restaurant, but he won’t go peacefully and drops several N-bombs on the way out.
It doesn’t appear the N-word was directed at any Black people in the restaurant — Perry is known to casually throw the word around in daily conversation.
