Former UFC fighter arrested after punching a woman and giving her seizures 

Former UFC fighter Cain Carrizosa was charged with aggravated assault for domestic violence (second-degree felony) and robbery (second-degree felony) in Washington County, Utah's Fifth District Court, according to a report by ABC4.com's Ryan Bittan.

Carrizosa, 36, has fought under the UFC banner twice against Chris Wade and Leonardo Mafra, losing on both occasions. Having competed in a number of fight organizations since 2011, his professional MMA record stands at 11-5.

Cain Carrizosa has been charged with allegedly assaulting a woman on two separate occasions. On one occasion, he punched her in the back of the head, causing her to have a seizure later on while speaking to the police.

On March 24, 2022, the former UFC lightweight fighter and the victim were involved in an altercation that prompted the St. George Police Department to respond. When police arrived, they saw the woman confused and with scrapes on her knees, which she claimed were caused by Carrizosa pushing her. She also told authorities that Carrizosa had struck her in the back of the head.

The woman was sent to the hospital for evaluation, according to the police, but she fainted and had a seizure while speaking to law enforcement. Witnesses supported her claims about being punched in the back of the head.

The woman informed police that she and Carrizosa were involved in an altercation. According to a probable cause affidavit, Carrizosa followed her and shoved her while she was grabbing her purse from the vehicle. The affidavit adds that as she moved away, Carrizosa punched her in the back of the head. 'Cain Castillo' took her phone away when the incident transpired.

The suspect, initially identified as Cain Carrizosa, is said to have left Utah for Las Vegas soon following the March incident. Officers eventually discovered that the name was an alias, and it was not until the most recent incident that officials were able to correctly identify the suspect as Castillo. He has now been taken into custody.
