Short stated he was being taunted and acted in self-defense, and his opponent admitted he had removed his jersey and was prepared to fight Short before the punch caused a concussion and fractured eye socket. Short also avoided jail by pleading no contest to a felony assault charge after throwing 'a running punch' at his in-law during a family gathering at a bar. In 2014, as part of a no-jail plea agreement, Short pleaded guilty to misdemeanor domestic violence and performed 30 hours of community service. The couple wed in December of that year and have two sons together. In August 2016, Short announced his engagement to Aida Abramyan.
