UFC investigating Alex Nicholson after May domestic violence arrest

UFC fighter Alex Nicholson was arrested on a domestic violence charge after an alleged physical altercation with his fiancée at a 7-Eleven franchise in May, according to the arrest report obtained by MMA Fighting.

The charge, levied against Nicholson on May 8 in Florida, did not end up being pursued, because his fiancée did not show up at trial last month, per Florida state officials. The UFC is currently reviewing the case, the promotion said in a statement.

According to the Orlando (Fla.) Police Department arrest report, a witness said Nicholson picked up his fiancée, carried her outside the store and dropped her on the ground.
