Resurging light heavyweight superstar, Anthony "Rumble" Johnson, has been suspended by the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) after news surfaced on a domestic incident.

Reports came out stating that Johnson had struck the mother of two of his children. The attack knocked out some of her teeth in the process.

The victim then went to a local law enforcement bureau, and under a veil of anonymity, made the report. The mixed martial arts website, Bloody Elbow, was the first to discover the occurrence.

The report was made in 2012. The victim even said that the altercation happened in her place of work, and that there would be video footage to support her claims.

Since then, she has been in several verbal battles with Johnson, and has even received threatening messages and calls from people she believes to be associates of the fighter.

With the help of the police, she was able to file a restraining order.

Frank Smith, attorney to the fighter, also released a statement with Johnson denying any of these allegations. He adds that after a hearing, the truth will come out.

At the time of the report, Johnson's career was on the rise. He had previously been cut from the UFC for missing weight and losing to "The Phenom" Vitor Belfort.

Outside the UFC, he compiled six consecutive impressive wins and earned his ticket back.

Once there, he did not waste any time. His first fight back, he upset ranked "Mr. Wonderful," Phil Davis, and earned his own rank in the top-ten.

His next fight saw him knockout Brazilian legend Antonio Rogerio Nogueira in only 44 seconds in the first round.

He was poised to have a bout with number one contender, Alexander Gustafsson prior to the emergence of the reports.
