"40 acres and a mule" - Luis Pena responds after American wrestler asks former vet to get back to Dana White for reparations
Following allegations of domestic violence and battery that led to the arrest of Luis Pena in 2021, UFC President Dana White supported the arrest and swiftly made the decision to release Pena from the UFC roster.
At the time, White stated:
"This is a pretty nasty one. I don’t know if you guys read the police report, but, yeah. This one had to happen."
In a recent turn of events, a Florida judge dismissed the battery charges against the former UFC lightweight fighter. Pena had been accused of engaging in physical altercations with two women, including his then-partner, during a reported dispute.

"Best birthday present I ever got July 5th 2023 2 years later the charges don’t get nolle pros they’re completely dismissed it’s unfortunate I lost so much over this injustice but it is what it is at this point, but it feels good to finally get some justice this is for all the people in my inbox and comments."
