Arianny Celeste says she kicked boyfriend Praveen Chandra in self-defense

UFC Octagon girl Arianny Celeste reportedly admits she kicked boyfriend Praveen Chandra in the face during their fight last weekend that resulted in the two being arrested for domestic violence, but she says she was acting in self-defense.

Celeste, whose real name is Arianny Lopez, reportedly told Hollyscoop “I was defending myself after he choked me twice.”

Additionally, Hollyscoop suggests Chandra has a history of rowdy behavior with Celeste.

A source who was on set during a recent Deadmau5 music video shoot starring the UFC Octagon Girl tells Hollyscoop that Praveen showed up to the set intoxicated and went off on a jealous rage because he didn’t want her appearing in the video.

If Celeste didn’t already have the public’s support because of her popularity, reading this report should certainly gain their favor. I imagine Chandra probably is claiming he was acting in self-defense as well.
