stole this from sherdog
"-Thiagos pissed that his wife is now dating her BJJ coach Popovich, eventhough she and Thiago have been separated for 2 years and thiago has a new gf too.
-On Jan 30, Thiago went to their house, pushed her on the couch. Grabbed her by the throat and put a silver gun in her mouth saying he would kill her. Then he left. and she got an order of protection against him.
-Over the next few days he was sending her texts saying he'd kill her, would hire someone to kill her, and move his girlfriend into the house
-On Feb 5, Thiago showed up outside the BJJ gym drunk. Sitting in his car he was pointing a black glock at his wife telling her to bring Popovich or else he would go into the gym and shoot everyone. Popovich came out thinking he'd defend lady silva, but when thiago was pointing a gun at him, Popovich ran inside, locked himself in the office and called 911.
-Silva drove away before the cops arrived. Went home. And when police/swat showed up he didnt come out and pretended he didnt know what they were talking about. But eventually came out and mightve gotten tazed.
-hes held without bail b/c he could harm his wife or flee
-hes unofficially been fired. official announcement coming later "
correction, he's been released officialy from the UFC.
charges dropped to ag assult (w/firearm, I think).
he'll most likely get charged with reckless endangerment or something and get a year in county.
ideally, he'd bond out, sell his house quickly and flee to brazil. I doubt they'd extradite for those crimes. brazil would say "eh? he pointed a gun a a guy who was banging his wife? and he didn't shoot? so what? you're not coming to our country to kidnap one of our citizens for that 'crime'." lol
