Police have arrested one of the men charged earlier this year for assaulting Flavio Almeida during a jiu-jitsu tournament in California in Dec. 2018, MMA Fighting has confirmed following a report by O Globo.
A warrant was issued for the arrests of Lincoln Jeferson Pereira and his jiu-jitsu coach Ralph Gracie in April for felony assault with intent to produce great bodily injury, with a suggested $50,000 bail for each. Sgt. Daron Wyatt of the Anaheim PD told MMA Fighting that Pereira turned himself in. He's currently in custody and is expected to appear in an Orange County court on June 28.
