UFC fighter Din Thomas, who faced up to five years in prison after being arrested and accused of running an illegal cage fighting event, has had all charges against him dropped.
Thomas learned of the news earlier today.
On Oct. 30, the 31-year-old veteran fighter and trainer was arrested for an event he held at his training center, American Top Team Port St. Lucie, on Oct. 19. The event, which included four matches and eight of his students, was attended by at least six police officers.
Thomas was charged with a felony count of running prohibited competitions. One prosecutor explained that Thomas was promoting an activity not sanctioned by the Florida Boxing Commission, which oversees all professional boxing and MMA events in the state.
"Three (police) cars rolled up, and two of them came up on bikes," Thomas told MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com) during a media conference call. "They stuck around for the duration of the event."
