A spat between former Ultimate Fighting Championship fighters Jake Shields and Mike Jackson turned into a scuffle and has now reportedly resulted in formal charges.
Shields and Jackson had been trading barbs online over matters such as politics and race before getting into a physical altercation at Las Vegas’ UFC Performance Institute last December.
In a partial clip of the scrap that went viral, Shields can be seen controlling Jackson from top and landing a few blows while the latter pleaded with bystanders to intervene. Jackson subsequently threatened to press charges and has now seemingly followed through. Shields was charged with one count of misdemeanor battery on Aug. 8 and failed to appear for an arraignment on Sept. 21, as per Clark County online court records. A bench warrant was issued for his arrest the same day. As of publication time, the former Strikeforce champion has yet to turn himself in, nor has he been arrested.
