Arianny Celeste allegedly kicked boyfriend Praveen Chandra in face

UFC Octagon girl Arianny Celeste was arrested early Saturday morning in Las Vegas on domestic violence charges and was released after posting bond. The UFC announced its support of Celeste despite details from the arrest not being available, but now we know what happened.

The arrest report was released on Tuesday and the Las Vegas Sun says the incident between Celeste, 26, and her boyfriend, Praveen Chandra, 34, began in a limousine. Chandra told police that Celeste, whose real name is Arianny Lopez, kicked him in the nose over text messages he supposedly sent to other women.

The argument reportedly escalated at their hotel room at the Wynn. Chandra accused Lopez of throwing two vases at him. Lopez told police her boyfriend choked her and grabbed her right arm.

The two reportedly have been dating for months, which is probably the saddest news of all to most UFC fans. As far as what happened between the two, that depends on whom you believe. I’m guessing there’s a bit of truth to both of their sides. And how crazy is it that Chandra may have been texting other women despite dating a girl who has posed for Playboy? Celeste really isn’t enough for him?
