On November 18th, number-two ranked UFC light heavyweight Volkan Oezdemir was arrested by the Fort Lauderdale Police Department. The 15-1 fighter was charged with aggravated battery and detained at the Broward County jail. MMAjunkie were first to report the news.
Oezdemir has since posted a $10,000 bond and been released from jail. Some information pertaining to the arrest was available on a Broward County Sheriff’s Office online database, but that was removed as soon as Oezdemir ceased to be an inmate.
The original charge listed on that database was ‘aggravated assault - causing bodily harm or disability’.
