Former interim UFC welterweight champion Colby Covington says former full titleholder Shawn Strickland has been arrested on suspicion of beating a man in Las Vegas.
Earlier, Strickland admitted on his social media accounts that he was experiencing mental health issues.
"He's under investigation in Vegas right now. Drunk guy wandered down the street outside his house, beat up a dude right in the middle of the street. He's under investigation right now. He's going to stand trial," Valuetainment Media quoted Covington as saying.
Recall that in his last fight Strickland lost by split decision to Dricus Du Plessis and lost the title. It happened on January 20 at UFC 297 in Toronto.
