As the potential murder case against former UFC and PRIDE talent Phil Baroni prepares to move forward, ESPN Deportes’ Carlos Contreras Legaspi reports that authorities have transferred the 46-year-old New York native from the local jail cell where he had been held on suspicion of killing a woman, so far only referred to as “Paola.”

According to Baroni’s claims, he had apparently been living with the woman at a hotel in the Bahia de Banderas region of Mexico, when the two quarreled over her revelation to the former fighter that she had cheated on him.
