http://abc30.com/news/madera-mma-fighter-sentenced-in-domestic-abuse-case/1315986/ FRESNO, Calif. (KFSN) -- Lavar Johnson was sentenced Friday for a severe beating he admitted to after a blow up with his girlfriend. Pleas for a lighter sentence in the brutal beating did not convince a Fresno County judge to give the MMA fighter less time in prison. In his defense, his attorney said Johnson is a stand-up guy who had too much to drink and was mad about his girlfriend tracking him with GPS. Standing in a red jail jumpsuit, and significantly smaller than he once, Johnson said he was ashamed and embarrassed of the explosive ending to a 7-year relationship. "I'm sorry," he said. "I take full responsibility for my actions."
