UFC lightweight Desmond Green is facing 20 charges including DUI manslaughter stemming from a fatal five-vehicle collision in 2018, Wayne K. Roustan of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports, citing police records.

Green, 29, is currently being held in the Broward County jail in Fort Lauderdale, Fla., on bonds totaling $194,000 for charges related to an August 2018 car accident that killed two women.

Emelina Morfa, 67, and Emma Suarez Hernandez, 76, both died in the collision, according to a police report. Two other people were seriously hurt and required surgery, while Green and another individual suffered minor injuries.

Green has competed three times since the accident, most recently defeating Charles Jourdain by decision at UFC Rochester in May.

The UFC has yet to comment on the situation.
