Heavyweight mixed martial arts fighter Michael “Iron Mike” Whitehead reached an agreement today with Clark County prosecutors to make a no-contest Alford plea for allegedly attempting to sexually assault a woman about a year and a half ago in his Las Vegas home.

When Whitehead is arraigned in Clark County District Court, he will plead guilty, to a lesser charge of one felony count of attempted sexual assault, his attorney William Terry said.

Whitehead had been arrested on charges of sexual assault, attempted sexual assault and open and gross lewdness and also faced possible drug charges involving marijuana found growing in his home.

Under the agreement, the district attorney’s office will make no recommendation on sentencing, assuming that Whitehead gets a favorable psycho-sexual report prior to sentencing, Terry said.

The alleged incident happened April 10, 2010, when a woman filed a police report that the MMA fighter had assaulted her.
