Hawaiian news outlet Hawaii News Now<\/a> has obtained video from the night that UFC flyweight contender Rachael Ostovich was allegedly attacked by her husband, fellow MMA fighter Arnold Berdon. This footage reveals the extreme and terrifying nature of this incident, as Ostovich’s attacker can be heard threatening to kill her.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m going to murder you,” the attacker tells Rachael Ostovich in the video. “I\u2019m going to f***ing murder you.”<\/p>\n

This utterance is pertinent given that Berdon is facing a\u00a0a second-degree assault charge, which was downgraded from an attempted murder charge.<\/p>\n

Nanci Kreidman, a representative from the Domestic Violence Action Center, told Hawaii News Now that downgrading this charge was a grave error given that the attacker told Rachael Ostovich explicitly that he was going to kill her.<\/p>\n

“There are threats to kill, at what point does the system take his threats and his violence seriously, recognize them for the grave violent acts that they are and try to hold accountable the people that are committing these crimes?” she queried.<\/p>\n

Hawaii News Now explains the significance of the video as fellows:<\/p>\n

\nThe Nov. 27 recording was taken by a witness who heard Ostovich\u2019s screams for help and the repeat blows she endured \u2014 allegedly from her husband, MMA fighter Arnold Berdon.
\nThe recording lasts a grueling nine minutes and is dark almost beginning to end.<\/p>\n

But you can clearly hear what is happening \u2014 blow by blow.<\/p>\n

Her injuries included a broken eye socket and multiple bruises \u2014 and Ostovich said it wasn\u2019t the first time.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The report continues:<\/p>\n

“At one point, Ostovich is quiet. Sources say that\u2019s because she\u2019d fallen unconscious.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Eventually, Ostovich was able to escape.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

In the video, she can be seen dropping about 10 feet from a lanai before getting up and stumbling away nude.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Despite this harrowing incident, Rachael Ostovich will return to the cage at UFC on ESPN+<\/a> on January 19, where she will battle Paige VanZant.
