UFC veteran Lavar Johnson jailed on multiple felony domestic violence charges

According to a report from TMZ, Lavar Johnson has been jailed in Fresno since August on multiple felony charges including assault with a deadly weapon (his fists) resulting from a domestic dispute with his girlfriend.

Johnson, a 38-year-old veteran of 28 professional MMA fights including 4 in the UFC Octagon, hasn't fought since September of last year when he lost to Cheick Kongo by submission at Bellator 123. He had been rumored to be facing Eric Prindle at a regional MMA event in June after going 1-3 with Bellator, but that bout apparently never came to pass.
