The husband of UFC fighter Rachael Ostovich, Arnold Berdon, has reportedly been arrested for attempted murder following the alleged assault that left Ostovich with a fractured orbital bone.

According to TMZ on Tuesday, Berdon has also been given a temporary restraining order. He's still in jail in Honolulu, with bail yet to be set.

Ostovich's injuries saw the 27-year-old pull out of her scheduled women's flyweight matchup with Paige Vanzant in January at UFC Fight Night 143: Brooklyn.

Hawaii News Now's Lynn Kawano reported Ostovich had filed a restraining order detailing further allegations, with the assault said to have taken place at the pair's home in Waianae:

TMZ reported on Sunday that Ostovich had been attacked by "someone close to her," but no arrests were initially made.

According to Tuesday's report, a family member of Berdon has said he will "vigorously" deny all allegations in court. The 27-year-old is also a professional MMA fighter and could face up to life without parole if convicted.

Ostovich lost her last fight against Montana De La Rosa at The Ultimate Fighter: Undefeated Finale in July and has a 1-1 record in the UFC.
