10. Violent October
October 2021 was a rough month for MMA fighters beating up their girlfriends.
While this is definitely nothing new to the world of fighting, it hit a serious peak in October when
both Luis Pena and Chuck Liddell were arrested for domestic battery within just days of one another.
The first case is Luis Pena, who not only beat up his girlfriend,but a second random woman too.
According to the affidavit, the Broward County Sheriff's Office says that Pena intentionally
hit his girlfriend in the face several times with a closed fist. When she fell over on the ground,
the UFC fighter continued to do what’s known in the business as “ground and pound.” While
on top of her, he continued to hammer her in the face. By the time she was taken to the hospital,
she was suffering from abrasions on her wrist and even a bite mark on her knee
from where the maniac started gnawing on her. A woman who had absolutely nothing to do with the
attack saw what was happening and tried to stop it. That was when Luis turned his attention on her
and gave her a swift jab to the eye. She fell over and that was it.
As for Chuck Liddell, he was also arrested for beating up his partner. It happened just after
midnight when deputies had to respond to a family disturbance at Chuck’s house. The sheriff’s office
says that Chuck and his wife had been involved in a physical altercation, though his wife did not
need medical treatment. But from what Chuck says, it was actually his wife who assaulted him!
9. Fighting in the Streets A mixed martial arts fighter got into a
bare-fisted brawl with a European power lifter on the streets of Russia. The powerlifting champion
was 32-year-old Andrey Drachev. The MMA fighter was Anar Allakhveranov. The two men got into an
argument over something extremely silly. They were debating whether MMA fighting is
better than gymnastics. To make matters more ridiculous, it happened at 7:00 o'clock in the
morning outside a cafe where people were eating their breakfast. Just imagine waiting in line for
your first sip of coffee and then seeing these 2 bulky dudes start throwing punches at one another.
The two men got so worked up about the topic that the MMA fighter savagely attacked the
powerlifter. Bystanders even got video of the MMA fighter kicking the powerlifter
until he fell to the ground, then getting on him and punching him repeatedly in the face.
Apparently, powerlifting doesn't do much when you actually get into a fight with somebody who knows
how to kick and punch. Even though Andrey Drachev won the silver medal for powerlifting at the World
Championships in 2011, he got beat up in front of a café and didn’t even get a good punch in.
But here's where things get tragic. The MMA fighter actually kicked the guy to
death. He just kept kicking and kicking until the powerlifter stopped breathing. Yikes. The police
then launched a manhunt to track this guy down, but he later turned himself in. After a trial that
went on for over a year, he was finally found guilty of homicide and given 18 years in jail.
But that still doesn’t answer the question. What’s better, MMA or gymnastics?
8. Attempted Murder UFC fighter Irwin Rivera was recently
arrested for two counts of attempted murder. He was apprehended by officers with the Boynton Beach
Police Department, then held in jail without the possibility of bail. The reason is that
Irwin Rivera stabbed both his sisters to death! His sisters, one of them 22 and the other 33,
were discovered by Boynton Beach police after they were called to a residence where there had been
an alleged disturbance. It was quite a serious disturbance actually, since the 22-year-old had
stab wounds to her back, head, and arm. The other sister had been stabbed repeatedly all
across her body and both her lungs had collapsed. Amazingly, both girls survived the brutal attack,
with one in stable condition and the other in critical condition.
Irwin later admitted to the police, after they caught up with him when he fled from the scene,
that he killed his sisters and he did it on purpose. He snuck into their bedroom
while they were asleep and stabbed them mercilessly with a brass knuckle knife.
Why did this complete psychopath kill his siblings? He told the authorities that he
did it because a higher power told him to. Some ambivalent god told him that it was his purpose.
In a really bizarre statement from the UFC that came out after his arrest,
they said that the situation was extremely troubling. They also said that they would
not be offering Irwin a fight at this time. But that seems kind of redundant to say considering
he's in jail for a double murder. Of course he won't be fighting – at least, not in the octagon.
7. Pervert on the Beach An MMA fighter was filmed on the beach punching
a man in the face. Normally, this would land a person in some serious trouble. But in this case,
Joyce Vieira may not have done anything wrong. She and a friend were taking photographs in
their bikinis on a beach in Rio de Janeiro. As they were in the middle of their swimwear
photoshoot, a man also on the beach began doing something extremely inappropriate to himself.
In an interview, Joyce said that when she looked at him, he had his shorts all the way down
and was standing on a public path where children could easily see him. She was so angry at this
creep, especially since he was staring right at her and making weird sounds and moaning,
that she went up and punched him directly in the face. The MMA fighter has some serious skills,
so she was easily able to beat this guy up. After the incident, the man was arrested by
the police but then immediately released because he simply denied that he ever committed any crime.
He said Joyce was lying, so the cops just let him go.
What do you think about this terrifying case? Was Joyce in the right for punching this guy
in the head or was she overly violent? And for that matter,
do you think the police should have let this guy go or gave him a more severe punishment? Let us

Relatively famous MMA fighter Mayhem Miller trashed a church and was arrested naked.
It happened in Southern California, when the 31-year-old was discovered at the Mission Hills
Church in Mission Viejo, passed out on a Monday morning. When the church people came in for Sunday
business as usual, they found Miller naked on the couch. They also found that the whole first floor
was ransacked as if he had been attempting to rob the place! He pulled books off the bookshelves,
smashed pictures, and even spray-painted the walls. After he went on a rampage, he got naked,
fired off a fire extinguisher, and fell asleep on the couch. When the pastor found him,
he ran away and called the police. For those who don't know Mayhem Miller,
he's a middle-weight fighter in the UFC and he hosts the MTV series Bully Beatdown. Although, he
first came to fame on the old Spike TV Show “The Ultimate Fighter,” back when people still watched
cable TV. The reason he went into the California church made a huge mess was probably because he
was wasted. When the cops woke him up and asked him who he was, he just kept muttering, “Mayhem,
mayhem,” over and over again. The Orange County sheriffs thought he was crazy and brought him
into the hospital, then booked him in jail before he was released on a $20,000 bail. He's now facing
charges of suspicion of burglary and vandalism. 5. Exploding Bíceps
A fake bodybuilder in Russia nicknamed Popeye because he has ridiculously bulging biceps got
beat up in an MMA fight. Popeye, real name Kirill Tereshin, injected his biceps with
synthol oil to enhance the size of his muscles. Ew. He didn't actually train to get strong,
he just had oil injected into his biceps to make them huge. For some crazy reason,
he thought having fake muscles somehow made him eligible to be an MMA fighter.
He gave himself the name Bazooka Hands and then stepped into the ring with another amateur
fighter. However, he was forced to quit almost immediately when his famous arms exploded! His
biceps literally burst before the fight could even end, kind of like two giant zits on his arm being
blown up because someone squeezed them too hard. He lost the fight and had to go to the hospital.
Bazooka Hands never did make a career as an MMA fighter. He actually had to undergo several
surgeries to remove dead muscle and skin from his arms because of the oil he injected himself
with. At one point, the doctors even feared that he might have to have both his arms amputated
because of how much oil was in them, slowly poisoning his body. If he didn’t remove the oil,
it’s likely he would have died. 4. Failed Sobriety Test
In Cape Canaveral, Florida, a man was taken into custody when police pulled him over for driving
under the influence. The man turned out to be Calen Holcomb, an MMA fighter. He tried to
bribe the police by offering them free martial arts lessons if they would just let him go.
But the bribe wasn't good enough and the police still took him straight to jail.
The reason he was pulled over in the first place was that a sheriff’s deputy in Brevard County saw
him almost back his vehicle straight into the Slide Inn Bar & Grill building. Clearly, he was
having a bit of a hard time driving. When they pulled him over, his truck stank like alcohol.
He refused to take a field sobriety test and became aggressive with the police.
When the cops refused his bribe of free martial arts lessons, he began to offer his services as
a fighter. He told the cops that if they let him go, he would beat up suspects from other
cases like some kind of bully for hire. The cops didn't want anything to do with
it and now he's been charged not only with a DUI, but also bribery of a public servant.
3. DUI Manslaughter Back in 2019, Desmond Green, the
mixed martial arts fighter who fought in the UFC as a lightweight, was brought up on 20 charges,
including DUI manslaughter. The UFC fighter played a pivotal role in a car crash that left two women
dead. Some of his other charges included felony possession of cocaine, a whole heap of counts
of DUI property damage, driving with a suspended license, and DUI causing serious bodily injury.
The crash itself happened early in the morning on August 18, 2018.
Desmond was driving down a Florida freeway when he veered his Dodge Durango directly into the path
of an oncoming truck. The chain reaction of the impact caused three other vehicles to also crash.
One of those vehicles contained Emelina Morfa and Emma Suarez Hernandez.
Their vehicle swerved, hit a guardrail, and flipped all the way over.
Both girls inside died, although Desmond Green only suffered minor injuries.
According to what came out through the court proceedings that followed, Desmond was driving
without a license, under the influence of alcohol, and stoned out of his tree. After the crash,
he tried to ditch a marijuana grinder by throwing it over a concrete traffic barrier.
An officer also discovered a small bag of cocaine in his truck. When they did a toxicology analysis,
they found that his blood alcohol level was 0.14 and that he had been smoking a bunch of pot.
Just one month after the collision that killed two people, the UFC allowed him to fight in the
Octagon. He then fought twice more before he was convicted of the crime and put in jail in 2020.
How do you feel about this? 2. War Machine Roid Rage
Jonathan Koppenhaver legally changed his name to War Machine. He was a UFC star who is now
a disgraced attempted murderer. In one of the most prolific court cases involving a fighter in
recent memory, War Machine was accused of trying to murder Christy Mack after he discovered her
hanging out with another man. The MMA fighter used to date Christy, who happens to be an adult film
actress. But by the time that he caught her with another dude, they had already been broken up. But
that didn’t stop him from going into an alleged roid rage and punching her face with his fists.
According to what Christy accused him of, War Machine beat her up and then groped her in an
extremely disturbing fashion for over 2 hours while at the same time threatening to murder her.
As for the other guy whom he caught Christy with, he threatened him that
if he went to the police he would kill him too. In defense, War Machine’s lawyer said the fighter
had brain damage caused by his fighting career, he said that War Machine used a lot of steroids,
and these were the reasons for his violent outburst. The lawyer said War Machine
never tried to actually murder the girl. At the end of the trial, nobody believed
the flimsy defense War Machine gave. He ended up getting 36 years to life for beating, assaulting,
and threatening Christy Mack. 1. Canadian Cartel Man
One of the biggest incidents of an MMA fighter gone wrong has to be Steven Skinner. The Canadian
fighter was charged with murder back in 2016 and also accused of running a cocaine smuggling ring.
He was arrested by the police in Venezuela after the Royal Canadian Mounted Police gave them a tip
that they were searching for a murder suspect who had killed somebody back in 2011, in the Canadian
province of Nova Scotia. It was later proven that Steven Skinner shot and killed Stacey Jordan Adams
in a small trailer park community outside the city of Halifax. He also tortured an elderly
man for unrelated reasons. Before that, he was a fighter between 2006 and 2010, mostly just
amateur stuff in Canadian fighting organizations. After his fighting and murdering, he allegedly
began to work closely with a Colombian cartel to move drugs from South America and into Canada.
He helped find mules by strong-arming seniors and innocent-looking moms to
swallow latex capsules filled with drugs and then go from Colombia to other places in the world.
Thankfully, the Venezuelan authorities arrested him and then sent him back to Canada in 2017.
He pleaded guilty to manslaughter, but the drug trafficking charges could never
be proven. He’ll get out of jail in early 2025. Who is your absolute least favorite MMA fighter?
