The fighter was released on conditions by the court, one of which is that he cannot be within 50 km of Prince George other than to attend his court hearings.
Chiappe has fought under several MMA promotions and has a 10-8 record. His most recent bout was a knockout win at a 2013 event in Penticton. He has been associated with Langley’s Revolution Fight Team.
