MMA Junkie reports that Cristiane Justino has been cited by Las Vegas Metropolitan Police for misdemeanor battery as a result of confrontation with Angela Magana on Sunday.
Both fighters were in attendance at the UFC fighter summit. Magana indicated that she wanted to press charges. The information was from an incident report from Junkie reporting. The Clark County District Attorney’s Office will be sent the report and determine whether to prosecute Justino.
Per Junkie, a charge of misdemeanor assault carries a potential penalty of six months in jail and a $1,000 fine.
Payout Perspective:
We will see if the DA decides to prosecute this case. It seems like a very small incident that is not worth the time of the attorney’s office. Despite the fact that Magana wants to “press charges,” that’s not how it works. Of course, if she wants to file a civil suit for battery she could. She could also sue the UFC and the JW Marriott for not providing a safe environment and premises liability. Don’t know if that happens but you can follow the lawsuit that boxer Dominic Brezeale filed against the Wilder brothers and the Mariott.
