Charges against former UFC fighter Luis Pena stemming from an alleged domestic violence incident have been dismissed. On Thursday, Broward County (Fla.) Judge Catalina Avalos ordered the two misdemeanor battery charges be dismissed, months after a previous nolle prosequi was not honored by the district attorney’s office. Pena, 30, was arrested in October 2021 following an alleged domestic violence incident in which he was accused of striking his significant other and a witness who tried to break up the fight. Pena faced one charge of battery/touch or strike/cause bodily harm and one charge of battery. He was released from the UFC shortly after his arrest. In an Instagram post , Pena touted the judge’s decision as a form of “justice.” Best birthday present I ever got July 5th 2023, 2 years later the charges don’t get nolle pros they’re completely dismissed,” Pena wrote.
