There are no rules on the street, right? Even when you’re a trained mixed martial arts athlete.
On November 11, MMA fighter and BJJ practitioner Donovan Salvato allegedly assaulted his roommate – and bit his testicle. According to police, Salvato was arrested and charged with domestic assault causing bodily injury, subsequently spending 12 hours in jail.
When police arrived, the mixed martial arts fighter had fled the scene and was found and arrested afterwards.
Salvato has a 3-1 amateur MMA record, with all of his fights being under the Cage Fighting Championships. He debuted in 2017, with his most recent bout being in March 2020.
