Perry has a track record of using the word.
He famously said it repeatedly in a 2020 video in which he could be seen punching an older man at a restaurant in Texas.
Perry defended using the N-word, claiming an online DNA test showed he is 2% Black, MMA Junkie reported.
Perry fought twice during the pandemic-era in combat sport last year, beating Mickey Gall in June before dropping a decision to Tim Means in November.
His pro MMA record is 14 wins (11 knockouts and three decisions) against seven losses.
Perry does not have another bout scheduled.
