UFC releases Michael Graves following 2016 domestic violence arrest
UFC officials announced Monday the welterweight Michael Graves (6-0-1) was published from the advertising after being arrested in October 2016 for domestic violence. Here’s an official statement from the UFC:
In November 2016, welterweight Michael Graves was eliminated from his UFC bout after his arrest in Fulton County, Florida. As a possible breach of this UFC Fighter Conduct Policy, the UFC organization temporarily barred Graves from contest pending the conclusion of a third party evaluation. Dependent on the findings of this thorough inspection and analysis, UFC has advised Graves he has been released from his contract effective immediately. UFC needs all athletes to act in an ethical and responsible manner, as mandated by the UFC Fighter Conduct Policy. UFC holds its athletes to the maximum standard and will continue to take appropriate action when and if warranted.
