Former UFC fighter Cody East charged with battery, child abuse and false imprisonment

Former UFC heavyweight Cody East has been arrested again. This latest arrest took place over the weekend and resulted in charges of battery, child abuse and false imprisonment.

KRQE in Albuquerque, NM quoted a criminal complaint that stated that those charges were filed after “East got into a fight with his wife and is accused of refusing to let her and their kids out of a car.”

East was signed by the UFC in early 2016 after he impressed Dana White during a taping of White’s Lookin’ For a Fight series.
