UFC releases Michael Graves after 2016 domestic violence arrest
UFC officials announced Monday that welterweight Michael Graves (6-0-1) was released from the advertising after being detained in October 2016 for domestic violence. Here’s an official announcement from the UFC:
Back in November 2016, welterweight Michael Graves was removed from his UFC bout following his arrest in Fulton County, Florida. As a possible breach of the UFC Fighter Conduct Policy, the UFC organization temporarily barred Graves from contest pending the completion of a third-party investigation. Based on the findings of the comprehensive review and analysis, UFC has suggested Graves that he has been released from his contract effective immediately. UFC requires all athletes to behave in an ethical and responsible manner, as evidenced from the UFC Fighter Conduct Policy. UFC retains its athletes to the highest standard and will continue to take proper action if and when warranted.
