UFC welterweight Mike Perry has once again denied the allegations<\/a> of domestic violence put forth against him by his ex-wife, Danielle Nickerson.<\/p>\n

Last month, Nickerson partook in an interview with MMA Junkie,<\/a> accusing Perry of several instances of domestic violence and abuse.<\/p>\n

She claims that she was physically assaulted by Perry several times. The worst incident of abuse allegedly occured on February 10 of this year, when she says Perry \u201cground-and-pounded\u201d her after a night of drinking.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe had his knee on my belly and just ground-and-pounded me until he got tired,\u201d Nickerson said. \u201cI did a decent job of covering my face. I still had hematomas on the back of my head. My entire right side from my entire arm, my legs, my ribs, everything was covered in bruises the next few days. He just got all of his anger out on me, and on the last punch I clearly \u2013 I think that\u2019s why he stopped, is we heard my rib crack. He knew and sat back, and I think he was just tired \u2013 tired of hitting me so much.\u201d<\/p>\n

Nickerson says she then fled to a neighbor\u2019s house, and was picked up by Perry\u2019s mother. When Perry allegedly showed up at his mother\u2019s house, his mother reportedly called the police, worrying for their safety.<\/p>\n

Nickerson claims that was the worst of the abuse she experienced during her time with Perry, but alleges there were other incidents, and reportedly shared photographs with MMA Junkie that corroborated those allegations.<\/p>\n

Mike Perry has already vehemently denied these accusations, and speaking ahead of his UFC 255 fight with Tim Means, he did so again.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t believe that you have that correct because I did not assault her that night,\u201d he explained. \u201cI don\u2019t necessarily believe that those allegations were made about that night that the 911 call took place.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe night that took place, what happened was Danielle went over to my mother\u2019s house,\u201d he continued. \u201cAnd I went over to my mother\u2019s house to tell her to come outside to to talk to her and my mom said, \u2018no.\u2019 So I said, ‘what the heck, can we have a conversation?’ So my mom got upset with me because I was mad that she wouldn\u2019t go tell that girl to come outside and have a conversation with me. But, whatever, it\u2019s cool.\u201d<\/p>\n

As for the 911 call his mother made, Perry says she was being “over dramatic.”<\/p>\n

\u201cMy mom is a savage,\u201d Perry said at UFC 255 media day (via MMA Mania<\/a>). \u201cI have never disrespected my mother. That night only, and that was by revving my engine and I drove across her grass, so she called the cops on me.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cShe\u2019s always been over dramatic and acting up since her and my dad had me,\u201d he said. \u201cMy dad was a wild dude and she always expected something from me. That\u2019s probably one of the reasons why I never disrespected my mother, ever.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe looked out for me growing up and I tried to look after her since a young age,\u201d he continued. \u201cMy mom\u2019s a hard worker, a server for along time. I always tip my servers well because I wanted people to tip my mom well.”<\/p>\n
