Former UFC heavyweight fighter Lavar Johnson was sentenced to five years in prison by a Fresno County judge on Friday for a brutal assault of his girlfriend last year. Johnson and his attorney plead for a lesser sentence of three years, but that did not convince the judge, who reminded the mixed martial artist of his past charges, as well.
"It does appear there were times when Mr. Johnson could have stopped this offense," Judge Glenda Allen-Hill told the court (via ABC 30).
