Via police report transcriptions from MMA Mania.
Jan. 30, 2014: Thiago Silva went over to see wife and they argued over her having an affair.
“During the argument, the defendant picked up a silver colored revolver, pushed her on the sofa, pointed the firearm at her and told her he was going to kill her. When she began to scream, he covered her mouth with his free hand. He then placed the firearm in her mouth while still holding her down. While still attempting to scream, the defendant then left the residence and fled in his vehicle.”
Feb. 5, 2014: Thaysa Silva came home and saw Thiago there. She told him to leave because she had an injunction against him from the previous incident.
“He then stated that he would not leave and that she needs to leave. A short time later, the defendant left the residence. She advised when he left he was upset but did not harm her. Moments later, the defendant sent a text message to the victim in the language of Portugese stating, ‘I am gonna fuck you up and you are going to die. I am going to hire someone to kill you and I am gonna move my girlfriend in.’ ”
Feb. 6, 204: Thiago Silva showed up outside the jiu-jitsu training center owned by Thaysa’s boyfriend, took out a gun, pointed it at her and threatened to shoot everyone inside.
“She approached the defendant who was driving, and when she approached the driver side he rolled down the window. She immediately noticed that he had been drinking and extremely intoxicated. He then produced a black glock firearm and pointed it at the victim. He stated “you have ten seconds to bring Pablo outside and if he does not come out, I will go in the gym and start shooting everyone.” **It should be known that there was a class insession with approximately 25 adult students inside. Victim Popovitch then exited the center to protect victim Silva from harm. He then approached the driver’s side of the vehicle and observed the defendant pointing the firearm above the door frame and at the victim Silva. The defendant threatened to kill both victim Silva and victim Popovitch. Popovitch then ran back into the gym, locked the front door, and called 911.”
Shortly after the arrest in February, UFC boss Dana White said Silva would never fight in the UFC again. The charges were dropped because Silva’s wife become uncooperative and moved out of the country, which led White to reinstate Silva.
In 2011, Silva tried to cheat a drug test with synthetic urine. In 2012, he failed a drug test because of marijuana use and was suspended six months.
