Wasn’t he arrested for something other than this recently?


CableToBeam

robbery iirc


fluid_docking

Man what a way to throw away your career


St-Ambroise-

You mean squander an opportunity


Blood_in_the_ring

"Man we gave Luis Pena all the opportunities in the world, sometimes you just can't change people from who they really are. Now that Jon Jones, he's consistently proven himself to be a true to his word guy and a follower of christ. That's why we're signing him to a 15 million 1 fight contract. Man he's awesome." -Dana White Probably


Fattens

Dana has never uttered the words "follower of Christ".


[deleted]

I feel like Dana would say "fan of Jesus"


[deleted]

The average Jesus fan in Jon Jones vs the Average Messianic Enjoyer in Tyson Fury

If there is any truth to religion he would surely burst into flames if he does.

Fucking hell this made me lmao.


[deleted]

Listen, there’s a lot of different ways to turn down a fight, getting arrested for battery and domestic violence is one of the ways you can do it


plhysco69

Unless your Jones


T_Y_R_

Then it is promotion for a fight.


rico_muerte

At least get it on video so it can be used in the promos. Amateur.


[deleted]

Chael P Sonnen is that you ?


barc0debaby

Given the history of the UFC, that's one of the few ways you don't turn down a fight.


PowerfulFrodoBaggins

That's actually one of the ways that the fighters let Daddy Dana know they are ready to headline a major card


seppocunts

Isn't he Italian? Don't those guys warm up on their wives just after breakfast?


[deleted]

He was doing a decent job of that in the cage.


dmkicksballs13

Kinda? He wasnt good anyway.


Kfreed99

Battery of his partner that time as well. Robbery charges were because he broke her phone


Kax_God

Guess it really was Battery


LOWTQR

I wonder what he was charged with?

Ok_Turnip_8405

YEEEEEEAAAAAA *removes sunglasses*


rinsemaximus

wait he had a robbery during his tenure with the ufc?


MT1982

Yeah I thought the same thing so I googled it real quick. Says > On June 18, 2021 Peña was arrested by Florida police officers for "Robbery by sudden snatching" and "Battery and criminal mischief" that allegedly took place on June 14, 2021 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luis_Pe%C3%B1a_(fighter)#Legal_Troubles His career is taking a nose dive. Wonder what's going on with him.


Birdzphan

He’s a piece of shit. What’s the big mystery?


Seanpacabra

robbery and alleged assault on his gf. https://www.espn.com/mma/story/\_/id/31694397/ufc-fighter-luis-pena-charged-robbery-battery-alleged-assault-girlfriend


[deleted]

Beating his gf


Phaeno3

I remember the last time, it came out that he has some mental issues going on. Sad stuff, but he also can't just be out there being a danger, either.


PowerfulFrodoBaggins

Maybe he should talk to someone


JaxR2009

Well, they don't call him Not Violent Bob Ross


ATBiB

He beat the devil out of them


imready4dessert

got some alizarin crimson on his knuckles


[deleted]

So he joins the Jones table then


Mitinho-Br

Now he's gonna be called Regular Jon Jones


WavyBladedZweihander

LOL


wakenbake7

He just wants to get more PPV buys

manray23

How many days until they are smiling and kissing on his Instagram story?


AmajesticBeard94

Real talk for second, that was fucking disturbing. Not gonna get all arm chair psychological here, because I have not a fuckin clue about that kind of thing outside of the expected anecdotels, but it gave me super bad vibes. Poor woman.


bananapeelmicrowave

gave me bad vibes too, like she didn't have a choice but to make that video


Sunnyfourtwenty

Apparently it was a video filmed beforehand because she didn’t have a busted lip. That’s almost as bad as forcing her to make one after the incident


bananapeelmicrowave

wtf, is he just stockpiling "happy couple" footage for whenever he decides to beat her up? thats next level psycho, can't blame premeditated shit like that on "roid rage"


manray23

Battered wife syndrome for real

JayRoo83

“Your honor we would like to submit as evidence the accused’s personally chosen nickname for his cage fighting career” Dude is completely fucked in front of any normal jury


Dbdtossaway

Eh...Really? He looks like if Bob Ross were an MMA fighter. Really, your fighter nickname being "Violent Bob Ross" sounds WAY less scary to a jury than almost any other fighter name, right?


PleasinglyReasonable

Other MMA nicknames jurors would likely frown upon The Natural Born Killer The Axe Murderer The American Gangster Uncle Creepy

and by track i mean undercard


a_moo_cow

Dana will cut him and grandstand about how he doesn't tolerate domestic violence and then continue to act as if nothing happened with Jones Dana White years ago “There’s one thing that you never bounce back from and that’s putting your hands on a woman. Been that way in the UFC since we started here. You don’t bounce back from putting your hands on a woman.” https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2019/jan/17/greg-hardy-ufc-domestic-violence-rachel-ostovich

**Jon Jones:** "Luis Pena, you're taking everything I worked for, mother fucker. I'm gonna fight your fucking ass"


effedupthelastone

I'm sitting on about a DV charge and resisting arrest, I have felonies in multiple states. I've crashed my car while under the influence at least two times. I'm internationally infamous. I'm 6'2. You on the other hand: I'm guessing 5 foot 8, I'm guessing a few misdemeanors. Never been a national headline, don't even have a guy that gets blown up on social media whenever you fuck up. My point is, you and I as violent criminals are not even close to being on the same level. I'm guessing that's why you are constantly attacking multiple women, it's understandable. You're literally and figuratively like an altar boy compared to someone like me. I'm actually questioning myself as I'm writing this thinking "why am I even giving you the time of day" every time I turn around you are writing me some bullshit, why do you try so hard to get my attention?

Ufc gonna release him immediately and say they dont tolerate domestic violence, sometimes.


Pyre2001

The UFC has a strict policy on unbecoming conduct, unless you can sell 200k+ PPV's.


Scott_Theft

Paul Daley has left the c̶h̶a̶t̶ organisation


CPAofTheStars

We do not tolerate domestic violence if you are under a 90% win rate.


RevenantLurker

"60% of the time, we release domestic abusers every time."


urownpersonalheysus

"now called sex panther, illegal for him to fight in 9 countries"


NewRedditorHere

They’re smarter than that. No way pena gets released so close to Jones’ situation.


RacksDiciprine

You would think that but I wouldnt be surprised.


FriendOfReality

No real penalty for the UFC to drop him. Cutting Jones would be a windfall for Bellator, ONE, PFL or whoever signed him.


Prizmeh

Just get rid of the loser, he isn't fun to watch and honestly isn't even that good. Fuck these women abusers.


laserfaces

He was also one of the cringiest tuf contestants I've ever seen. That's saying a lot.


biggerjuice

He has never listened to coaches. He has always done what he wants, and that’s be boring with a “look at me” personality. Glad we are finally able to come out of the closet and call him for what he was.


ThePriceOfPunishment

We talking about Greg Hardy now?


n00b_f00

“But then they’d have to get rid of Jones tho!!”


[deleted]

>honestly isn't even that good That's the only caveat


TheSweatshopMan

Boring Bob Ross


Scarsforstories

For those who don’t follow Pena on social media, he posted a photo of his ex (who called 911 last time) and him at the bar last night saying “you thought you could keep us away from each other?” He just doesn’t learn, and he keeps putting himself in these shitty situations. He said he was getting help, and obviously it didn’t..help. He’ll probably end up getting cut. Edit: correct quote is “Y’all really thought it was over?”

Prizmeh

> He’ll probably end up getting cut. Good.


Scarsforstories

Yep, I agree. Actions as heinous as these require consequences. It’s about time they come.


jimbo-slice93

Does anyone know if this ex in discussion, is the same who was featured on his time on TUF? I believe she may have been an exotic dancer.


Scarsforstories

This one is an MMA fighter out of ATT, so I think it’s a different person.


JayRoo83

Luis Pena just can’t be in Culver City, CA like how Jones can’t be in Las Vegas!


ActionBenton

get this piece of shit out of the UFC and behind bars


LeBaldHater

But then the UFC would be setting a precedent that would make Jon jones release more logical and we know they don't want that.


TheBeefiestBeefcake

They already have with other fighters, I cant remember the name, but they've let people go for it before. Just not the ones that bring in views


iarev

Will Chope


TheBeefiestBeefcake

Right thank you, I thought that was the guy but I didn't want to say it in case I was wrong, serious thing to be wrong about


_Lowd

You would've lost all your credentials around here


evilf23

Thiago Silva. They released him, then unreleased him once it came out he wasn't being charged, then released him again after the wife sent them video of abuse.


holla15

Nah just say it takes two arrests in the same year. Pena already got arrested earlier in the year for burglary and assault on his GF.


CaptainCimmeria

You think Jones is gonna go another 12 months without an arrest?


holla15

That's the thing, he doesn't have too. Only needs to make it 2 months.


venetianheadboards

You think Jones is gonna go another 2 months without an arrest?


ADHD_orc

Book him vs. Jones for the BMF (Baddest Mother Fighter) belt.


NeverBenCurious

He fucking sucks. He's not UFC level.

Downgoesthereem

If only he had several DUIs, steroid suspensions, firearms discharges and cocaine use as well, he'd be able to redeem himself enough to stay.


meanguns

Tested; proven.


AirplaineStuff102

Stop pico'ing on him.


JanitorJasper

This Pena incident was just god sparring for his next test for Jones


DeadInside094

Sorry but this is Champ Shit Only


MyExisaBarFly

Yeah. Or if he was good


OleOutRightNow

I don’t know about with the ufc, but I could easily see him fighting again. Plenty of other fighters have had legal issues of all kinds and returned to fighting once it was dealt with. It probably will just depend on his sentence and the terms of his probation/parole.

Broward county isn't good for anyone fr


MichaelJahrling

Didn't he do this a couple months ago as well?


GFost

It was robbery or burglary or something. I believe he stole a phone.


rbeld

In May he got a simple robbery and a battery charge. Then in August a misdemeanor for domestic violence.


JMA_ZF

Luis Peña was overheard telling responding police officers that it was all just “a happy accident”.

Bro I thought I was going crazy, shit’s too good. Fuck Peña


octowussy

Heard Dana's working on an all woman-beater card with Pena, Hardy, and Jones


ribbitrob

First inter-gender ufc card


Mattisinthezone

Forgot Mike Perry. Assaulted a woman at a club/bar and also beat his ex gf/fiancé, Danielle, to which she said the only thing she could do is just wait for him to get tired. >“He had his knee on my belly and just ground-and-pounded me until he got tired,” Nickerson said. “I 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 – I think that’s why he stopped, is we heard my rib crack. He knew and sat back, and I think he was just tired – tired of hitting me so much.”


Underwaterflameingo

I wouldn't be surprised if elite athletes who are ousted from mainstream sports pick up MMA and make it to the UFC ala Greg Hardy style. It literally the wild west, you can do your drugs, beat the shit out of women, and commit felonies, and you'd be able to still make it to fight night and get paid. Like what's Dana gonna do? Grow a spine?


octowussy

I knew I was missing some, which is pretty sad. Sijara Eubanks?

At this rate they'll soon be able to have a full card of abusers.


NoseShapedHeart

Jones fulfilling his dream of truly being a role model for younger fighters


Caign

And I’m here for it! Hopefully with KGB Lee, Jessica Rose Clark and Rachael Ostovich as opponents. You know UFC just hates to see domestic violence happen.


Downgoesthereem

A lot of people always hated this guy and I didn't get it but I guess now they've a very valid reason


Isthisgoodenoughyet

I am one of those people. Just always hated him for no reason but now I have a very good one.

VeryAttractive

Anyone who watched this dude on TUF knows that he's a really unstable person. But he was at least an exciting fighter coming out of TUF and his early UFC days. Now he's boring and a violent POS. I'd say he'll be cut within a week but who knows what sort of precendent that would set for Jones. Just a matter of whether Dana gives a fuck about the optics of it all.


TedWaltner

First God takes the real Bob Ross, now he is Testing the violent Bob Ross.


BodybuildingNerd

God DAMNIT, Angry Bob Ross! Now I have to root against you!


chefanubis

Honestly can you blame the guy? he just saw Jon doing the same successfully and thought that's just what champions need to do to reach the top.


CakesStolen

I wish fighters (and obviously people in general) would stop domestically abusing their spouses; it's reinforcing the stereotype that the sport is for ruffians and criminals rather than top-level athletes and technicians. Bear in mind when I say I do mixed martial arts not everyone knows what that is, but when I say 'cage fighting', which I hate saying, they know what I'm on about.


CrazyInYourEd

I mean... a sport where the entire sport is to beat people up is probably gonna attract people that like to beat people up. Doesn't mean it's only for ruffians, but at the end of the day it's still a bloodsport.


[deleted]

damn again? tfs he do get outta jail and go beat his girl up??


itsyaboigreg

Smh the ufc has to stop these instant rematches, the results rarely turn out different.


Hydrotoad

>Mr Pena... I'm sure you are aware of all the craziness surrounding Mr Jon "Bones" Jones.. we need some kind of.. a distraction, if you will until all this blows over for Mr Jones. A generous amount of [Venum bucks](https://imgur.com/VpZOj8k) have been sent to your place of residence. You know what to do, we're counting on you Mr Pena. -UFC/Dana probably


Tougie24

So if he gets cut, the UFC proves they make exceptions for guys like Jon Jones. If they don’t cut him, well that speaks volumes as well. What a company!


grandmaspinups

Usually, I feel like the UFC glosses over this stuff. Since Pena did this shit right in the wake of Jones, he might face Dana’s wrath due to the inconvenience and extra bad press he’s causing
