Domestic Abuse
Brett Rogers
Elements of the Crime: “The Grim” only had his hand raised following one fight in 2011, and that was simply to apply a pair of handcuffs. An evening of drinking led to a serious, lop-sided altercation between the Strikeforce Heavyweight Grand Prix competitor and his wife Tiuana. Rogers busted her face up and knocked a tooth out before choking her unconscious in front of their daughter and neighbor. Before heading to trial, he was again picked up for violating a protection order stemming from the initial assault.
The Charges: Three felony counts: assault in the third degree, domestic assault by strangulation, and pattern of stalking conduct . Also a gross midemeanor: endangerment of a child
The Sentence: As part of a plea deal, Rogers copped to the assault charge in exchange for the rest of the charges being dropped. He was sentenced to 60-days in jail, but was given credit for the 26-days previously served. He served an additional two weeks before an early release saw him back on the streets. As part of his probation, he must enroll in a domestic abuse education program, undergo a chemical dependency evaluation, and refrain from talking trash.
Career Fallout: Shortly after his arrest, Rogers was cut from his contract with Strikeforce. His next fight would come against Eddie Sanchez under the Titan FC banner. Rogers lost an incredibly boring decision.
Jason Miller
Elements of the Crime: Just before gracing television screens as a coach on The Ultimate Fighter Season 14, “Mayhem” was arrested following a confrontation with his sister at a house party. It would seem that his larger sister had kicked back a few too many brews before attempting to leave the party and get behind the wheel. Miller’s efforts to prevent her from drinking and driving turned physical as he secured a headlock and refused her permission to leave. Basically, it was your typical Miller-family fun night.
The Charges: Simple assault and false imprisonment
The Sentence: Charges were dropped before he headed to trial.
Career Fallout: His fight with Bisping went on as planned, and fans were sentenced to two and a half rounds of wretched standup and horrid cardio.

when are you going to hire me to write this shit??

Would it be disingenuous and stupid to claim that a list of a few "bad apples" should have any relevance to the sport as a whole? Absolutely. That doesn't mean people don't use that sort of logic, and unfortunately, there are many who are persuaded by fallacies.
Brett Rogers' wife is named Tiuana, not Juanita. I can't believe you missed a chance to crack a joke about The Grim beating the 'J' out of his wife's name.

You've got yourself into a great gym. Where is it, how can I join. Out of being a decent guy --- you should make a post a new banner for the board in your gym. Its a quote that is missing. Its from someone everyone posting on this article should have read and known.

That's calling the ace just that, and the spade, just the spade.
.
In this case, few of the people Coleman listed had not much, if any notoriety outside of this small website. They where surely not players (contenders) by any means. As for Yuki Nakai being blinded, that was self censoring. Not censorship by the press - which I am hearing promoted ^ above ^.
.
In the case of auto racing, drivers get fucked up and killed on occasion. It becomes front page news that makes its way onto the televised news. MMA is not front page news worthy except my mistake. MMA likely wont ever be front page, as boxing (much less physical contact sport) over the past 3 decades at best only gets the front page in the sports section.
.
At that, where both women and men read the front page, the sports section front page is nearly all men. As for the men profiled, they are nobodies - this includes Yuki Nakai, who was blinded in more than one way.
.
Oh I forgot, JDS tore the the fucking head off Velazquez at Honda center for the worlds shortest MMA heavyweight title fight. The charges will read:
.
- Fraud (count 1): Fox wants their money back.
- Fruad (count 2): Forcing the public to watch 1 hour, for a 3 minute event.
- Failure to Preform: No Champ showed up to defend the belt.
- Attempted Murder: 1 punch to the head.
- Schoolyard Beating Due to Truancy: ex-Champ isn’t really a workout phenom, and got caught skipping too many class.
