Mike Perry was involved in a heated confrontation with fellow BKFC fighter Julian Lane after leaving his commentary position in Tampa.
Perry has recently signed with the bare-knuckle promotion label after a spell in the UFC and was commentating on a BKFC card.
He was approached by fellow fighter Lane who provoked him into leaving his broadcast table in a furious row.
The former UFC star stood up and confronted Lane, sparking an ugly brawl which threatened to mar the action in the ring.
Both men threw punches before being separated by members of security after a long exchange of trash talk unfolded between the pair.
Perry recently fought on Triller's Triad Combat which took place last weekend headlined by boxing's heavyweight contender Kubrat Pulev, who defeated Frank Mir in the opening round.
The American star was also successful himself in the crossover clash, recovering from a knockdown to rally in the later stages to score a victory over Michael Seals.
Lane also has experience in MMA having fought in 21 bouts in the cage and has also established himself in the BKFC as a potential opponent to Perry upon his debut with the promotion.
He will face Kaleb Harris at BKFC Fight Night in Jackson next month which could be the business he needs to take care of to secure a meeting with Perry.
His rival is yet to secure an opponent for his maiden outing but will likely be a hotly-pursued opponent after his latest controversial altercation.
Perry generated controversy before his appearance on Triller's card earlier this month when he admitted someone was likely to "die" in the dual-sport crossover show.
"Let’s go, for real, mother******* gonna bleed, motherf****** gonna get f***** up, and somebody might die,” Perry said. “Straight up, it’s a fight, what you all want from us? I’m gonna f*** this dude up, we going at it."

Perry later defended his comments on Instagram : "You might not want to talk about death but it is a part of life.
“It’s the idea of being able to choose how you risk your lives that makes life so exciting. Some people are dead before they ever die. I’ve always lived life to the fullest.
“The more you risk, the more you put on the line, the more you live.”
Perry is keen on pursuing a future in boxing despite his previous expertise in MMA and certainly has the high-profile needed to secure the best fights.
His radiant confidence helped him secure victories against the likes of Paul Felder and Micky Gall during his time in the UFC.
The 30-year-old is now sure that the "sky is the limit" as he looks to launch a successful career in the sport of bare-knuckle boxing.
“Look at the ceiling in here, bro,” Perry told MMA Fighting. “The sky is the limit. My son was here, I got the dub tonight. I’m just grateful man.
"I’m so humbled. I’m blessed. There’s a lot of people that were hating, and I thought about the speeches I would give after the fight, and I don’t have nothing bad to say to the haters because I only want to talk to my fans, and I’m grateful for all their support.”
