Mein’s father banned from Fight Night after felony arrest

James Lee Mein, the father of UFC Fight Night Tulsa co-main event competitor Jordan Mein, will not be in his son’s corner after he was arrested on a felony sexual battery charge Friday afternoon by Tulsa police.
James Mein, 47, was released after posting $2,000 bond early Saturday morning. The elder Mein, who normally works the corner for his son during fights, is accused of engaging in felony sexual battery in connection with Hyatt Regency Hotel employee while she attempted to clean his room in the event’s host hotel, Tulsa police said.
UFC officials said James Mein would not be permitted to attend Saturday Fight Night event at the BOK Center, which includes Jordan Mein facing Mike Pyle in a UFC welterweight bout.
