Thiago Silva, the veteran UFC light heavyweight fighter, is in custody tonight after an alleged standoff with the Broward County Sheriff's Department SWAT team in Oakland Park.

An ongoing dispute with his estranged wife led to threats at gunpoint before a well-known mixed martial arts fighter holed up inside his residence and was ultimately tased and arrested, officials said.

However, during a first-appearance court hearing, Silva’s attorney, Scott Saul, was able to have the attempted murder charges downgraded to aggravated assault with a firearm and aggravated battery with a deadly weapon after laying out his arguments to Broward Judge John “Jay” Hurley.



Thiago called Saul.

I just caught the back end of the ticker at the bottom of the screen and thought it was Anderson Silva.

According to several reports, an armed suspect went into a jiu-jitsu school at 777 E. Oakland Park Blvd., which belongs to famed Brazilian jiu-jitsu instructor Pablo Popovitch and allegedly began threatening people at the school.


I wonder if one of his training partners at the jig-jitsu school was banging his wife.

I'm not seeing where he attempted to murder anyone. Sounds like he threatened someone/a lot people with a weapon, but no attempted murder.

I must just be missing it, or the story doesn't contain it, but did he attack someone? Or just threaten them?

So in Florida you can threaten someone and it's attempted murder, but you can shoot a kid and it's cool?

Well this dude will at least be able to take care of himself in prison gen population.

First day someone tries to be a big man and take down the UFC fighter in the yard and Thiago removes his organs manually and drapes his intestines from the basketball goal.

No more fights for him
