Lavar Johnson Gets Five-Year Prison Sentence After Admitting Domestic Assault

Lavar “Big” Jonson (pictured) will be doing some big time behind bars. On Friday, the former UFC and Bellator heavyweight was sentenced to five years in prison for brutally assaulting his girlfriend of seven years last August.
