MMA Fighter "Iron Mike" Sentenced to Prison for Sexual Assault

Mixed martial arts fighter and Tucson resident Michael “Iron Mike” Whitehead was sentenced to prison for felony attempted sexual assault in Nevada, reports the Associated Press. Whitehead originally faced charges of four counts of sex assault, attempted sex assault and lewdness, but he pleaded the equivalent of no contest last September in a deal with prosecutors in order to avoid trial, according to the Associated Press. Typically, prosecutors will enter into a plea bargain with the defendant in order to assure a conviction.
