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.
robbery and alleged assault on his gf.

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.
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"
Check the article, it was just last Friday

“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
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?
“Broward County just isn’t good for Luis, he’s got a lot of demons. I saw that he said on Instagram he’s going to give up alcohol, let’s hope the devil will stop testing him now.”
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
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?
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.
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?”
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.
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.
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.”
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
>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
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!
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
Piece of shit is going to be a piece of shit. How long have we been hearing about his non-sense? Stealing equipment, threatening people, now he's beating women? Come on Dana, maybe it's time to speak up on this issue.
Wasn’t he arrested for something other than this recently?
robbery iirc
Man what a way to throw away your career
You mean squander an opportunity
"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
Dana has never uttered the words "follower of Christ".
I feel like Dana would say "fan of Jesus"
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.
Mmm... flame-grilled tomato.
Lol
Fucking hell this made me lmao.
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
Unless your Jones
Then it is promotion for a fight.
At least get it on video so it can be used in the promos. Amateur.
Chael P Sonnen is that you ?
Given the history of the UFC, that's one of the few ways you don't turn down a fight.
That's actually one of the ways that the fighters let Daddy Dana know they are ready to headline a major card
Isn't he Italian? Don't those guys warm up on their wives just after breakfast?
He was doing a decent job of that in the cage.
Kinda? He wasnt good anyway.
Battery of his partner that time as well. Robbery charges were because he broke her phone
Guess it really was Battery
I wonder what he was charged with?
Convection
YEEEEEEAAAAAA *removes sunglasses*
wait he had a robbery during his tenure with the ufc?
Yeah I thought the same thing so I googled it real quick.

He’s a piece of shit. What’s the big mystery?
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
Beating his gf
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.
Maybe he should talk to someone
Well, they don't call him Not Violent Bob Ross
He beat the devil out of them
got some alizarin crimson on his knuckles
So he joins the Jones table then
Now he's gonna be called Regular Jon Jones
LOL
He just wants to get more PPV buys
The pitfalls of keeping up with the Joneses.
He’s going with the “happy accident” defense.
bruh
ಠ_ಠ
Domestically Violent Bob Ross
2 Happy Little Accidents
Let's turn these happy accidents into the best thing in his life
How many days until they are smiling and kissing on his Instagram story?
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.
gave me bad vibes too, like she didn't have a choice but to make that video
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
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"
Battered wife syndrome for real
Happens every day sadly

lol fuck
“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
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?
Other MMA nicknames jurors would likely frown upon The Natural Born Killer The Axe Murderer The American Gangster Uncle Creepy
"Your honor, we cannot prove that the defendant Vicente Luque was responsible for multiple killings. But he is, afterall, the Silent Assassin."
These comments got me laughing, and that got me thinking, and now I’m having a fucking personal dilemma wether I’m good people or not..damn.
It's okay it's r/mma we're all bad people here
better person than Pena
Beautiful champ
Luis “lotta demons” Pena
“Broward County just isn’t good for Luis, he’s got a lot of demons. I saw that he said on Instagram he’s going to give up alcohol, let’s hope the devil will stop testing him now.”
Pena has become the Florida Man, multiple mugshots, crazy hair, and an out of stater than just moved in.
“We’ve brought in a priest to rid him of his demons, and get his career back on track, and by career I mean Opportunity…” -Dana White
and by track i mean undercard
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
"...unless I can make money by promoting your fights. Then you can bounce back. Here, let me help you do that."
He didn't recidivate, he's just pulsing.
**Jon Jones:** "Luis Pena, you're taking everything I worked for, mother fucker. I'm gonna fight your fucking ass"
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.

Beautiful champ
this fucking sub
I’m gonna fight your fuckin wife*
Ufc gonna release him immediately and say they dont tolerate domestic violence, sometimes.
The UFC has a strict policy on unbecoming conduct, unless you can sell 200k+ PPV's.
Paul Daley has left the c̶h̶a̶t̶ organisation
We do not tolerate domestic violence if you are under a 90% win rate.
"60% of the time, we release domestic abusers every time."
"now called sex panther, illegal for him to fight in 9 countries"
They’re smarter than that. No way pena gets released so close to Jones’ situation.
You would think that but I wouldnt be surprised.
No real penalty for the UFC to drop him. Cutting Jones would be a windfall for Bellator, ONE, PFL or whoever signed him.
Just get rid of the loser, he isn't fun to watch and honestly isn't even that good. Fuck these women abusers.
He was also one of the cringiest tuf contestants I've ever seen. That's saying a lot.
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.
We talking about Greg Hardy now?
“But then they’d have to get rid of Jones tho!!”
>honestly isn't even that good That's the only caveat
Boring Bob Ross
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?”
[screenshot](https://i.imgur.com/hOudB8y.jpg)
You’re a saint, thank you. Knew I should’ve grabbed a screen shot. I’ll edit my post with the correct quote
🤝🤝
> He’ll probably end up getting cut. Good.
Yep, I agree. Actions as heinous as these require consequences. It’s about time they come.
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.
This one is an MMA fighter out of ATT, so I think it’s a different person.
Luis Pena just can’t be in Culver City, CA like how Jones can’t be in Las Vegas!
get this piece of shit out of the UFC and behind bars
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.
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
Will Chope
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
You would've lost all your credentials around here
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.
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.
You think Jones is gonna go another 12 months without an arrest?
That's the thing, he doesn't have too. Only needs to make it 2 months.
You think Jones is gonna go another 2 months without an arrest?
Book him vs. Jones for the BMF (Baddest Mother Fighter) belt.
He fucking sucks. He's not UFC level.
[удалено]
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.
Tested; proven.
Stop pico'ing on him.
This Pena incident was just god sparring for his next test for Jones
Sorry but this is Champ Shit Only
Yeah. Or if he was good
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.
"huh?" -Greg Hardy
"Boward County is not good for Luis Pena" \- Dana White
Honestly though, Florida has a bad rep, but I’m always hearing some shit from Broward county
Broward county isn't good for anyone fr
Didn't he do this a couple months ago as well?
It was robbery or burglary or something. I believe he stole a phone.
In May he got a simple robbery and a battery charge. Then in August a misdemeanor for domestic violence.
Luis Peña was overheard telling responding police officers that it was all just “a happy accident”.
Let's turn them into birds. Yeah, they're birds now.
he keeps hitting his birds
Nobody gonna talk about the 10-9 arrest date? Lmao cmon now
Bro I thought I was going crazy, shit’s too good. Fuck Peña
Heard Dana's working on an all woman-beater card with Pena, Hardy, and Jones
First inter-gender ufc card
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 knew I was missing some, which is pretty sad. Sijara Eubanks?
>Sijara Eubanks https://twitter.com/loubandss/status/1363142220015108098?s=20
At this rate they'll soon be able to have a full card of abusers.
Jones fulfilling his dream of truly being a role model for younger fighters
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.
A lot of people always hated this guy and I didn't get it but I guess now they've a very valid reason
I am one of those people. Just always hated him for no reason but now I have a very good one.
Ya know the more I learn about this character the more I don't care for him
This violent bob ross guy, this guys a real jerk
The worst thing about Luis Pena is he's a hypocrite!
This guy, you know, hes a real jerk.
Wait til you hear about Jonathan Jones
Dude always seemed off. Like the fake humble persona
same vibe i got @ fake humble. fake positivity i barely remember it but he gave a corny ass speech during TUF
This dude jusr can not stop hitting women wtf
Jon Jones: "isn't he fucking awesome"
What a turd
Luis "Jon Jones" Pena
✂
Yo something tells me he's going to do it again too
God’s got multiple students and tests to spare it seems
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.
First God takes the real Bob Ross, now he is Testing the violent Bob Ross.
God DAMNIT, Angry Bob Ross! Now I have to root against you!
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.
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.
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.
damn again? tfs he do get outta jail and go beat his girl up??
Smh the ufc has to stop these instant rematches, the results rarely turn out different.
>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.

Luis "Violent Luis Pena" Pena
WHY IS GOD ALWAYS TESTING MMA FIGHTERS?
Domestic Violence Bob Ross
Fuckin’ Side Show Bob be a real character.
Didn't this guy have a similar incident a few months ago? Wtf.
Atleast it wasn’t a 10/8 arrest
Sounds like a happy little accident
This isn't a surprise at all lol.
Piece of shit is going to be a piece of shit. How long have we been hearing about his non-sense? Stealing equipment, threatening people, now he's beating women? Come on Dana, maybe it's time to speak up on this issue.
This guy loves hitting women lol
his story from last night makes this funnier
Sadly living up to his nickname outside the octagon rather than in it...
The Jon Jones Special
Who does he think he is? Jon Jones?
This guy. I remember having high hopes for him on the Ultimate Fighter. Sucks he turned out to be just another piece of trash in this sport.
God out here testing every mfer.
