A woman in Texas was reportedly arrested after an altercation inside a gym that allegedly turned violent over a personal dispute.

The incident happened on January 7 at a 24 Hour Fitness location in Spring, according to local law enforcement. Deputies were called to the gym after receiving a 911 call reporting an assault between two women. When officers arrived, they spoke with those involved and began investigating what led up to the confrontation.

Authorities say the suspect allegedly recognized the other woman as someone her romantic partner had reportedly been involved with. An argument followed inside the gym, and the situation escalated. During the confrontation, the suspect allegedly picked up a free weight and threw it toward the other woman.

A 19-year-old college student filed a lawsuit against UFC middleweight champion Michael Bisping on Monday, alleging that the fighter physically assaulted him at a local Anaheim gym in July.

The complaint, filed by Antonio Georgakopoulous, stated that the teenager was at a 24-Hour Fitness working out with a friend on July 31, when the alleged incident took place. Georgakopoulous claimed that when he picked up a set of nearby weights Bisping began shouting at him that he was already using those weights. He called Georgakopoulous names such as “idiot,” and “you little punk,” and proclaimed, “You don’t know who I am!” before choking him for a few seconds which caused him to believe he was going to lose consciousness.

A larger man at the gym reportedly intervened trying to get the situation under control. According to the complaint Bisping then requested they take the scuffle outside, but employees of the gym arrived and diffused the dispute.
