Anthony Rocco Martin, a former UFC welterweight fighter, was accused of threatening Florida police officers who were dispatched to a dropped 911 call back in December 21. He was taken into custody by police and charged with misdemeanor assault.

According to the police report attached to Martin’s arrest record, when authorities arrived at the residence, they saw a woman crying inside a black Ford Expedition. Martin was discovered by police at that point and allegedly urged deputies to, “get off my f***king property now.” He apparently grew hostile when informed of the inquiry into the 911 call, telling one deputy, “I don’t care, and if you touch me will kick your ass…I hate cops and you can suck my d***.”

One deputy handcuffed Martin after the former UFC fighter made threatening gestures to another deputy and challenged them saying, “you think you’re a bad man, if you take me out of these cuffs l will kick your ass.”

On Dec. 22, Martin was let out of jail after posting a $5,000 bond. Anthony Rocco Martin was granted a no-contact order, and on January 9 he entered a not-guilty plea to the offense, which carries a sentence of up to six months in jail in addition to fines.

Back in November of 2021, Martin was detained after reportedly striking a security guard at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas and urinating on the casino floor.  

The report claims that when a security guard asked Martin to show him his identification after a camera caught him peeing in a casino hallway, Martin became combative and aggressive. Martin gave the guard the order to back up and then punched him in the throat. Police detained Martin at about 1:30 a.m. According to the report of the arresting officer, Martin was extremely aggressive and seemed to be under the influence of drink or narcotics.
