UFC Fighter Ross Pearson Arrested For Driving Under The Influence In Las Vegas

The Ultimate Fighter Season 9 winner Ross Pearson was arrested under the suspicion of Driving Under The Influence in Las Vegas at the weekend.

Police arrested the UK fighter in the early hours of Sunday morning after witnessing Pearson veering across the road in his car.

According to TMZ, Pearson then took a sobriety test which he “failed miserably”. At that point he was taken into custody for DUI, but he’s since been released.

Pearson has not commented on the situation so far. He’s currently training for his next fight against Cub Swanson in June at UFC On FX 4.

Ross launched MMA Insight (previously FightOfTheNight.com) in 2009 as a way to channel his passion for the sport of mixed martial arts. He's since penned countless news stories and live fight reports along with dozens of feature articles as the lead writer for the site, reaching millions of fans in the process.
