Brazilian police to investigate UFC veteran Rony Jason for alleged assault on sister

UFC veteran and The Ultimate Fighter Brazil 1 featherweight champion, Rony Mariano Bezerra, better known as Rony Jason, will be investigated by Brazilian police for allegedly assaulting his own sister during a party in his native country.

According to Globo Esporte, Janaina Siebra, Bezerra’s sister, will not press charges against her brother, but the police will look into it anyway, since it’s a major infraction of the Maria da Penha law, a Brazilian law that was created to protect women from domestic violence.

“We analysed the footage. It was assault. Rony assaulted her with punches and kicks, that was caught on video.
