The American beat his wife, but the court took into account her profession and handed down a lenient sentence
You can't beat women, especially if you're an MMA fighter. Therefore, the American athlete Arnold Berdon, who brutally beat his wife, went on trial. The prosecution passionately wanted to put the lover of domestic assault behind bars for 5 years, but the court appointed him only 4 years of correctional labor.
The court entered the position of a brawler and did not punish him severely because the beaten wife, Rachael Ostovich, is also a mixed-style fighter.
A fight between two octagon professionals took place in their shared house back in November 2018. As a result of the husband's attack, 28-year-old Rachel received a fracture of the orbit of her eye and was hospitalized. Burdon was detained for attempted murder, but then the charge was commuted.
This is how the athlete described the beating to the police. Ostovich also said that she had received from her husband before — in May of the same year, 2018, Berdon kicked her, though without serious consequences.
For Rachel Ostovich, who made fighting her vocation, the damage to the skull is not a serious injury — the woman did not even withdraw herself from the fight with American Paige Vanzant. The fight took place on January 19, 2019, although it ended with a loss to Rachel.
Arnod Berdon is considered a strong enough fighter in MMA — he has seven victories and two defeats on his account. Rachel Ostovich is not so effective — she has only four wins and five losses. It is not surprising that the lady got in the eye — the forces were clearly not equal, and the weight category is not the same.
