Luis Pena was arrested for alleged battery and domestic violence
Pena was arrested on October 9 for alleged battery and domestic violence. According to the reports, Pena assaulted his girlfriend for over a year. He is scheduled to make an appearance in domestic court on October 17.
He was also arrested before. On June 18, Pena was taken into custody by the Florida Police department for 'robbery by sudden snatching' and battery charges.

The UFC recently released an official statement citing the reason for Pena's release from the roster.
