The UFC is cracking down!
MMA fighter Luis Pena (28) has been fired from the organization after he completely freaked out again.
On Tuesday it became known that Pena had knocked out his partner “with the closed fist”.
Pena is alleged to have inflicted slight abrasions on the top of her left hand, left wrist and “an alleged bite wound in the left knee area” during an argument.
This is confirmed by an affidavit that is available to the “MMA Fighting” portal.
The statement goes on to say that Pena is said to have knocked out a passerby who came to help. As he knows from the octagon, he even hit her on the ground.

Pena was immediately arrested and released a little later on bail for US $ 6,000.
Still, the UFC had had enough: “Mr. Pena has spoken openly about his mental health and substance abuse problems, and the organization has tried several times to help him get professional treatment.”
It continues: “At this point in time, the UFC believes that Mr. Pena has to deal with the health and legal issues and has therefore informed Mr. Pena’s management that his contract has been terminated.”
UFC President Dana White (52): “Pretty bad. Unfortunately, it was only a matter of time before something like this happened. “
In the UFC, he had won five out of eight fights. In the spring, however, he had been reported for assault.
