Video taken in a Texas restaurant appears to show a 28-year-old American UFC fighter called Mike Perry punching an older man to the ground before shouting the N-word at those around him.
The attack left the man unconscious, having hit his head on the concrete floor, according to a police report obtained by TMZ.
The incident took place Tuesday night at a Texas restaurant, the celebrity website said.
In the video below, numerous people including Perry's girlfriend Latory Gonzalez, seemingly try to usher Perry out of the establishment.
After being told to leave the restaurant, Perry tells an older man, "I'll knock your ass out," to which the man walked toward the fighter saying "motherf-----."
Perry then calls the man a "fat piece of s---." The camera footage is shaky, but he then appears to throw a punch at the man, and soon afterwards, the man is seen on the floor.
With multiple people now screaming, Perry — who is white — starts shouting racial slurs, including the N-word towards those around him.
Insider has chosen not to publish the video because of the extremely offensive language in it, but a censored version can be viewed on TMZ's website.
In addition to the alleged assault, Perry left the restaurant — Table 82 in Lubbock — without paying for his bill, TMZ alleges.
"Pending the criminal investigation, we prefer not to comment further because one of the victims was an employee of our company who had asked Mr. Perry to leave," a restaurant spokesperson told TMZ.
Perry posted "no comment" on his Twitter account.
ESPN reported Thursday that the Lubbock Police Department filed an incident report and an investigation is pending.
Perry was not arrested.
Perry has a professional fighting record of 14 wins (11 knockouts and 3 decisions) against 6 losses.
He last fought in June at a behind-closed-doors UFC event in Las Vegas, out-pointing Mickey Gall in a three-rounder.
