Josh Neer management team issues statement after arrest

From Mickey Dubberly -- Chief Executive Officer of K.O. Dynasty Sports Mgt. -- on behalf of his client, Josh Neer:

"We are still looking into the matter as a lot of the facts are still unclear. We back Josh 100% in resolving this issue as quickly as possible and putting this matter behind us and moving forward. I know Josh on a personal and business level and he is a great person, fighter and loving father. We apologize to Josh’s , fans, family, friends and the UFC while we have to deal with this incident. We are very grateful that the UFC has supported Josh throughout his career and has given him the opportunity to be a co–main event. In no way do we ever want to bring any negativity towards the UFC as they have been nothing but great to Josh. Josh is already looking forward to put this incident behind him and is focusing on his fight with Mac Danzig. We would hope everyone would reserve judgment until all the facts are known in a court of law instead of just going off of here say. No further comments will be made until after the court hearing. Josh wants to thank his friends, fans, family ,training partners, UFC and everyone that stands behind him for supporting him through his career."

It appears at least for now that Neer is still lined up to tangle with Mac Danzig at UFC Fight Night 17 at the USF Sun Dome in Tampa, Fla., on February 7 after a major run-in with the law early yesterday morning.
