Ex-UFC Fighter Casey Kenney Begins Six-Month Jail Term After Felony Assault Plea

Under the plea agreement, prosecutors dismissed other counts, leaving one aggravated-assault conviction with probation, mandated treatment, a stay-away order, alcohol restrictions.

Overview

  • Maricopa County court records show Kenney pleaded guilty to one count of felony aggravated assault as part of a deal that dismissed kidnapping, additional assault counts and disorderly conduct.
  • He reported to county jail on Oct. 30, 2025, to serve a 180-day sentence, with a current release date listed as May 1, 2026.
  • The judgment imposes three years of probation, completion of domestic-violence offender and substance-abuse programs, a stay-away order from the victim, and a ban on alcohol possession and consumption.
  • A separate drug-paraphernalia case resulted in two years of supervised probation and 100 hours of community service beginning Oct. 30.
  • Police and a probable-cause affidavit describe a July 2024 incident in Phoenix involving alleged repeated assaults over roughly 13 hours; the UFC later severed ties, and Kenney has not competed since 2021.
