The medical procedure to repair his nose took an hour and he's expected to make a full recovery though he has been slapped with a six-month medical suspension.
Perry lost a three-round slugfest in the co-main event as both fighters absorbed an insane amount of damage.
Luque landed a devastating knee flush on Perry's face, shattering his nose in one of the worst broken noses in MMA history.
Both Perry and Luque pocketed an extra $50,0000 for 'Fight of the Night' honours following their back-and-forth welterweight bout at Antel Arena in Montevideo.
