- Friday, Bloody Elbow's Brent Brookhouse broke the story that the mother of two of Anthony Johnson's children has filed a police report claiming that people associated with Johnson are threatening her. Also, in 2012, according to the Bloody Elbow report, Johnson knocked out two of the woman's teeth.
In 2009, Johnson pleaded no contest to a misdemeanor domestic violence charge related to a confrontation with a different woman. He served three years of probation and performed community service.
The UFC also posted a statement on Johnson Friday afternoon:
We are aware of the situation involving Anthony Johnson. As a result, we are suspending him indefinitely. We are using a third-party law firm to conduct a formal investigation and once we have more information, we’ll determine whether further course of action is necessary.
UPDATE: Shortly after the suspension was announced, Johnson posted on his Facebook page that appeared to deny any charges, noting that "the s*** [people] will say and the lengths [people] will go just to tell a f****** lie is ridiculous. That's all I'm going to say and thank you all for the support and positive feedback that I'm getting."
The new evidence and the UFC's decisions all arrive, of course, as the NFL struggles through a higher-profile string of problems related to its handling of domestic violence incidents among its own players, most notably Baltimore Ravens running back Ray Rice.

| Fucking A.
The UFC has no choice, and really made the correct decision, given what's going on in the NFL right now. When are dudes going to stop kicking the shit out of women? WTF. Hitting a woman is the opposite of being a man. | |

| Yeah I just don't get it.
Like my wife can be a bitch, don't get me wrong. She's a regular pro at it sometimes. And I work with some women who I swear, their only ambition in life is finding new and interesting ways to piss me off. Not to mention all the rotten skanks I've met in my bar-hopping years who love nothing more than downing a dozen PBRs and getting in the faces of guys like me to tell us how we 'ain't shit". But not once do I even remember the thought "I'm gonna hit her" even crossing my mind for a nanosecond. I just don't know what kind of a piece of shit you have to be to even allow your mind to travel in that direction in the first place, much less act on it. | |
