Hawaii MMA fighter Arnold Berdon III arrested on suspicion of 2nd degree attempted murder

Recently UFC’s Rachel Ostovich was hospitalized with some major injury following what was reported to be a domestic violence incident.

Honolulu police launched a second-degree assault investigation into the incident which involved a “27-year-old female victim and a 27-year-old male suspect,” spokeswoman Sarah Yoro told MMA Fighting. No arrests have been made in the incident.

“The victim suffered head injuries and was treated at a hospital,” Yoro told the MMA-centric blog.

Ostovich, 27, was hospitalized with the facial injury and later released, according to ESPN.

“A very unfortunate incident occurred Sunday night with Rachael Ostovich that ended with her suffering a fractured orbital and other injuries,” Ostovich’s management team said in a statement.

“As a result of these injuries she will not be able to compete in her upcoming bout with Paige VanZant on January 19th. Rachael is now home from the hospital with her family and will be going back for further check ups on her orbital. The family would like to ask for some privacy as they sort through this matter. We would like to thank the UFC for all their support on this matter as well as the fans and media for your concern.

Arnold Berdon III has been arrested on suspicion of second degree attempted murder.

According to Honolulu Police, he was arrested at the HPD Main Station on King Street around 5 p.m. on Tuesday.

His arrest comes two days after his wife, also a Hawaii MMA fighter, Rachael Ostovich-Berdon, was assaulted.

Honolulu Police report a 27-year-old male suspect was arguing with a 27-year-old female victim when he allegedly assaulted the woman causing head injuries.

HPD did not name Ostovich but the Honolulu Star-Advertiser connected the incident to her.
