MMA manager Jason House pays restitution, fulfills anger management to close battery case

Jason, 37, pled guilty to a misdemeanor battery charge on Dec. 8, according to Mesquite Justice Court online records. He was sentenced to pay $26,000 in restitution and complete eight hours of anger management training. The battery charge was expunged from his record after he fulfilled the court received confirmation of fulfilling his requirements on Dec. 15.

Jason declined to comment when reached by MMA Junkie.. Kevin, 60, told MMA Junkie, “The outcome was fair, and I’m satisfied with it.”

Jason originally was charged with a felony count of battery with significant bodily harm and faced up to five years in prison.

The case stemmed from a physical altercation between Jason and Kevin on Aug. 2 when they met to discuss financial stake in Iridium. Kevin told police that “Jason was already angry and verbally aggressive” when he arrived at the restaurant, and it wasn’t long before Jason threw and landed a punch to his face. Kevin’s wife, Beth, told police that Jason threw “a couple more punches” to Kevin’s face, “knocking Kevin back into the booth where they were sitting.”

A witness, Mitchell Miller, told police that he saw Jason stand up from the booth in a “fighter stance” and punch downward at Kevin, striking him as he was still sitting and causing his face to be bloodied. Kevin’s wife drove him to a nearby hospital after the incident.

Kevin’s treatment included a blood transfusion, 18 stitches, and he had symptoms of a concussion.
