Controversial UFC fighter Junie Browning was arrested Tuesday night and accused of assaulting three nurses at St. Rose Dominican Hospital's Siena campus in Henderson, Nev.

According to the Las Vegas Review-Journal, citing a police report, Browning was taken to the hospital after taking 16 pills of Klonopin, an anti-anxiety drug, "in an attempt to harm himself."

"The Ultimate Fighter 8" cast member reportedly faces three counts of battery on a health care provider.

According to the report, Browning, who's since been cut by the UFC (according to Yahoo! Sports), pushed a female nurse, punched a male nurse, and kicked another male nurse.

"Do you know who I am? I will kill you and rape your family," police said he yelled to nurses.

Browning was briefly held at the Henderson Detention Center but has since been released.

Browning most recently competed for the UFC in April, when he suffered a submission loss to Cole Miller at UFC Fight Night 18. However, after his drunken antics and repeated attempts to fight fellow cast members on "TUF," many wondered why UFC executives kept Browning in the organization in the first place.

Soon after "TUF," Browning relocated to Las Vegas from Kentucky and said he his was simply playing to the cameras on the reality show.
