Misdemeanor battery charges have been dropped against a UFC ring girl and her boyfriend after they were arrested in May in an alleged domestic scuffle at a Las Vegas Strip hotel room.
An aide to Clark County District Attorney Steve Wolfson said Tuesday there wasn't enough evidence to proceed against 26-year-old Arianny Lopez of Las Vegas and 34-year-old Praveen Chandra of Sherman Oaks, Calif.
Lopez has modeled for magazines including Playboy under the name Arianny Celeste. She's been a UFC octagon girl since 2006.
Police arrested the two on May 26 at the Wynn Las Vegas.
Lopez accused Chandra of choking her, and told police she threw a glass vase at Chandra.
Chandra accused Lopez of kicking him in the nose in a struggle for a cellphone.
