UFC fighter Sedriques Dumas arrested for burglary, battery weeks after UFC 314 showing
UFC fighter Sedriques Dumas was arrested in Florida on Monday, just weeks after his last fight in the octagon, and remains in police custody with a lengthy list of charges, including robbery and battery charges.
The 29-year-old fighter was booked into Escambia County Jail in Pensacola, Florida, on Monday and is being held on a $558,500 bond, according to online records.
The details of Dumas' arrest were not immediately known, but records indicate he is facing a multitude of charges including home-invasion robbery, felony possession of a weapon by a convicted felon, felony possession of a controlled substance, misdemeanor battery and misdemeanor drug equipment possession and/or use, the New York Post reported.
Monday's arrest came more than two weeks after his fight at UFC 314 in Miami, where he lost by way of knockout to Michal Oleksiejczuk in the middleweight prelims. Dumas, who goes by the nickname "The Reaper," has a 10-3-0 record with four wins by way of knockout.
Dumas' recent arrest marks his 14th in over a decade, MMA Junkie reported.
He was previously arrested in February 2024 following an alleged domestic violence incident with the mother of his child when he was accused of slapping her. Those charges were later dismissed.
According to jail records, Dumas is due back in court on May 6.

UFC 316 medical suspensions: Julianna Peña out indefinitely thanks to Kayla Harrison's torque
UFC 316 is in the past, but numerous fighters remain on suspension until their bumps and bruises heal. The event took place Saturday at Prudential Center in Newark, N.J. and featured 13 fights including two title fights. On Tuesday, the New Jersey State Athletic Control Board (NJSACB) released a full list of fighters' injuries and their coinciding suspension. Fighters can return prior to the conclusion of their suspension if they are cleared by a medical professional. The most prominent suspension is former UFC women's bantamweight champion Julianna Peña who is out indefinitely until her left elbow and shoulder is cleared. The potential injuries were likely sustained during Kayla Harrison's kimura that won the title. Main event combatants Merab Dvalishvili and Sean O'Malley were not handed medical suspensions.

With reporters shot and roughed up, advocates question whether those covering protests are targets
More than two dozen journalists have been injured or roughed up while covering protests against immigration raids in Los Angeles, leading press freedom groups to question whether law enforcement has been deliberately targeting reporters on the story. Journalists have been pelted with rubber bullets or pepper spray, including an Australian TV reporter struck while doing a live shot and a New York Post reporter left with a giant welt on his forehead after taking a direct hit. A CNN crew was briefly detained then released on Monday night. The advocacy group Reporters Without Borders said there have been at least 27 attacks on journalists — 24 from law enforcement — since the demonstrations started. The Committee to Protect Journalists, the First Amendment Coalition and Freedom of the Press Foundation were among the groups to express concern to Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem. In a letter, they said 'federal officers appear to have deliberately targeted journalists who were doing nothing more than their job covering the news.' Noem hasn't replied, David Loy, legal director of the First Amendment Coalition, said Tuesday. A Noem spokesperson didn't have an immediate comment for The Associated Press. Experts say the apparent hostility toward journalists, or a disregard for their role and safety, became particularly apparent during demonstrations following the death of George Floyd in 2020. A troubling indication of a decline in press freedom is the rapid escalation of threats journalists face in the United States, said Bruce Shapiro, executive director of the Dart Center for Journalism and Trauma at Columbia University. While most journalists covering wars receive training and safety equipment, it is apparent that many — particularly freelancers — don't have similar protection when assigned to events like the Los Angeles demonstrations, he said. 'It's not like covering a war zone,' Shapiro said. 'But there are some very specific skills and strategies that people need to employ. The First Amendment is only as strong as the safety of the journalists covering these events.' On Sunday, Australian journalist Lauren Tomasi was shot in the leg by a rubber bullet while reporting live, with a microphone in her hand, from protests in downtown Los Angeles. Widely circulated video shows her crying out in pain and clutching her lower leg as she and her camera operator quickly move away from a police line. She told 9News later that she was safe and unharmed. New York Post photographer Toby Canham was overlooking the 101 freeway when he was hit. He spent Monday in the hospital with whiplash and neck pain, and left with a red mark on his forehead. Shortly before he was shot, he said he saw someone throwing a water bottle with liquid at authorities. 'I completely understand being in the position where you could get injured,' Canham said. 'But at the same time, there was no justification for even aiming the rifle at me and pulling the trigger, so I'm a bit pissed off about that, to be honest.' Ben Camacho, a reporter at the local news website The Southlander, reported being shot twice. 'Unsure of what hit me both times but they hit like a sledgehammer and without immediate warning,' he wrote online. 'Elbow is wrapped with gauze and knee is weak.' Photojournalist Nick Stern was standing near some people waving a Mexican flags when he was shot in the thigh. He later had emergency surgery. 'I thought it was a live round because of the sheer intensity of the pain,' he told the AP. 'Then I passed out from the pain.' Lexis Olivier-Ray of L.A. Taco, an alternative independent media platform, thought he was safely positioned with some television crews but instead had pepper balls shot at him. Some reporters may have taken less care: one posted a clip from film he shot about 10 yards (9.1 meters) from a police officer with a rifle pointed at him. Not all of the incidents involved law enforcement. AP photographer Jae Hong was kicked and hit with sticks by protesters on Monday, his protective gear enabling him to escape injury. A Los Angeles TV reporter and her crew were forced away by demonstrators, one loudly yelling, 'get out of here.' CNN aired video of its correspondent, Jason Carroll, and his crew with their hands behind their backs being led away from a protest by officers. They were later released. In many past conflicts, journalists had a measure of protection because opposing sides wanted them to record their side of the stories, Shapiro said. Now many journalists are seen as superfluous by people who have other ways of delivering their messages, or a target by those who want to spread fear, he said. It illustrates the importance of proper training and protection, he said. For reporters in the middle of the story now, they should plan carefully — being aware of exit routes and safe zones, working in tandem with others and in constant communication with their newsrooms. ___
