3 MMA fighters currently facing criminal charges
MMA fighters are, of course, used to violence in the cage. However, some fighters who took fights to the streets found themselves facing criminal charges.
Outside of the slew of charges Jon Jones and Conor McGregor have been charged with over the years, a handful of other MMA fighters have made headlines in the same sense.
Chael Sonnen, Jorge Masvidal, and Cain Velasquez, in particular, are currently looking at heavy cases. In addition to their criminal charges, Sonnen and Masvidal are dealing with harsh consequences detrimental to their careers. Velasquez, on the other hand, will possibly see 20 years to life in prison for his crime.
