"Dana White confirms Maiquel Falcao's 2011 UFC release was due to assaulting a woman."
http://www.mmajunkie.com/news/2013/07...1-ufc-release-due-to-assaulting-woman


"This whole situation is really unfortunate," White told MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com). "All you can do is just hope Kaue Mena's health continues to improve. But I have to be honest and tell you it really bugs me that it's being reported that Maiquel Falcao is a UFC fighter. We let him go back in 2011 for the same reason. We found out he had a charge on his record for hitting a woman, and we cut him because of that.

We don't want anything to do with men who punch women," White said. "When the UFC found out Maiquel had a charge against him that involved women, we immediately cut him from the roster. Bellator/Viacom MMA then picked him up a few months later, and he's been fighting for them ever since."

The random dudes knocked the two profesional fighters using a big stick as weapon. In the first fight inside the store you can see falcao and his friend have no problem with those guys.

Besides Falcao looks like he is drunk messing with that woman for no reason and also in the fight he has no reaction in the first punch.
