MMA Fighter Josh Copeland Arrested For Allegedly Punching His Wife In The Face...Seems Stoked About It!
TMZ- MMA fighter Josh Copeland — who just fought (and lost) in the $1 MILLION match at PFL 11 — was arrested for domestic violence after allegedly punching his wife so hard in the face, he left her bloodied and bruised. It’s all detailed in the police report obtained by TMZ Sports…law enforcement in Adams County, Colorado raced to the couple’s home on Feb. 2 after reports of an attack.
When they arrived at the home, Copeland’s wife had “an obvious bruise on her left eye, a cut and was bleeding. There was blood down the front of her face and neck.”
Copeland’s wife said the two had been arguing — when 36-year-old Josh pushed her so she pushed him back. The two continued to attack each other — with Copeland’s wife admitting she slapped him in the face multiple times.
Finally, Copeland’s wife said the 6’1″, 265-pound fighter “then punched her in the face” and threw her on the bed. She says Copeland also took her phone so she couldn’t call for help. Cops say they later found her phone in Josh’s pocket.

Cops say Josh had redness and blood on his face — but did not remember punching his wife.
Ah, nice. Another dude from our sports world upholding the classic scumbag/thug cagefighter reputation with a seemingly brutal account of domestic violence, punching his wife in the face after taking her phone away to make sure she couldn’t call the police – but of course he doesn’t remember that. Pretty fuckin’ unbelievable, after police arrived on the scene where his wife was bloodied and bruised and her phone was in his pocket, but par for the course, I suppose.
Copeland is a 245lb, 18-6 Heavyweight competing for the Professional Fighters League right now, where he just lost in the finals of their million-dollar tournament, if you weren’t aware who he was, which you probably weren’t. He had a brief two-fight stint in the UFC in 2014/5 but was cut after two rough losses.
Now, here he is in his mugshot – smilin’ like a madman – solidifying his spot as today’s absolute biggest scumbag in the world.
