Veteran UFC lightweight Josh Burkman was greeted earlier today (Feb. 24, 2017) by a group of armed DEA Agents as well as the Miami Swat Team at Budokan University where he trains.

The University shares its location with Iron Addicts Gym, which happens to be a prime spot for a multi-state steroid distribution ring.

In the end, 10 people were arrested on steroid distribution and money laundering charges.

Burkman detailed the situation to local news:

“They kicked the doors in,” Burkman told the local news cameras after the dust had settled (via Bloody Elbow). “The SWAT team came in and woke us up and said, ‘Hey, get up and get out of here!’”
