UFC fighter Casey Kenney was arrested on Aug. 16 on a multitude of charges stemming from an alleged domestic violence altercation.
Phoenix Police officials confirmed to MMA Fighting that Kenney was arrested by Phoenix Police Fugitive Apprehension Detectives on Aug. 16 at 12 p.m. local time. He was booked on charges including kidnapping, aggravated assault (strangulation), and assault. He has since been released from custody.
Maricopa County court records show Kenney faces a total of six charges — a class 2 felony for kidnapping and a class 4 felony for assault/strangulation — and four misdemeanor charges. The harshest charge is the class 2 felony, which comes with a potential prison sentence of a minimum of four years in prison and up to 12.5 years in prison if convicted.

In July, Phoenix Police confirmed an incident that was first reported on Instagram by the alleged victim’s mother who accused Kenney of domestic violence.
In the report, police noted that they located an “adult female victim with some visible abrasions reporting a domestic violence assault. The female was treated by paramedics and interviewed by investigators. No contact was made with the suspect at that time. This case is still active.”
It appears the ongoing investigation led to an arrest with Kenney being taken into custody on multiple charges.
There’s a status conference scheduled on Kenney’s case on Aug. 22, with a preliminary hearing set for Aug. 26.
The 33-year-old fighter hasn’t competed since 2021, when he suffered a loss to Song Yadong at UFC 265. Kenney started with the promotion back in 2019, and while he’s still listed on UFC’s website, his status says “not fighting.”
