7 UFC Fighters Who Committed Horrific Crimes

7. Josh Grispi

Josh 'The Fluke' Grispi was a featherweight fighter who competed in the UFC for about two years, from 2011 to 2013. Over the course of his career, Grispi shared the cage with former champs like Jens Pulver and Dustin Poirier.

After suffering four consecutive losses during his time with the promotion, 'The Fluke' was released. Not long after, in the summer of 2014, he would go on to face some major legal issues.

The former WEC standout has been arrested multiple times for everything from improperly storing a firearm near a minor to domestic assault and battery.

Grispi had reportedly trained his pit bull terrier (Buddy) to be an attack dog. He then sent the animal after his (now ex) wife Kaitlyn, having just finished physically assaulting her himself. Kaitlyn suffered several wounds, including a series of bite marks on her leg. To make matters worse, in order to stop Buddy's assaults, Josh Grispi would sometimes resort to choking the dog unconscious.

While investigating the incident, authorities also found marijuana plants and cocaine at Grispi's home.

In June 2017, the ex-UFC fighter was convicted on several charges and received a 5 1/2 year prison sentence.
