Was Thiago Silva on bathsalts when he attacked his wife’s boyfriend?

Featured



This is a pretty crazy story that broke today via Twitter and was quickly picked up by the MMA media and mainstream media as well. UFC Light Heavyweight Thiago Silva was arrested after allegedly full-on flipping his shit and going insane. He found out his wife had a boyfriend and he simply lost his mind, going into a rage that ended with a stand-off with police at his home and Thiago’s ultimate arrest. Did we say allegedly? This is all allegedly. He then left the scene to barricade himself inside his home while the Broward Sheriff department SWAT team placed a perimeter outside the home. To clarify the title, it doesn’t sound like Mr. Silva physically attacked anybody, but for the sake of simplicity lets file waving a gun is someone’s face under the “attack” column just the same.

“According to sources close to BJPENN.COM, we have learned that upon hearing of his wives possible infidelities with her Jiu Jitsu coach, Pablo Popovich, the top UFC light-heavyweight barged into their school gun-drawn, looking for Pablo.”

This quote is from BJPenn.com, so if it turns out to be false, you can blame them. Nobody knows exactly what happened yet, so until we know the official report and people have had their days in court, this is all just rumors and speculation.

You’re probably wondering who the hell would be ballsy enough to slip the salami to the wife of an intimidating guy like Thiago who is 16-3 against some of the world’s toughest fighters. It was her Jiu Jitsu expert of a coach that allegedly sent Thiago into a rage. Can we skip the shootouts and threats and just get these two into an octagon together? Or maybe an old fashioned cage-match that could take place in a prison? Lock up the BJJ coach for crimes of the heart, and have him share a cell with Thiago Silva who will be locked up for the crime of… well… for the crime of allegedly threatening to shoot people and then being on the wrong end of an armed stand-off with police.

If you’ve ever seen him fight, you know Thiago is an intense man. Is that intensity combined with a broken heart enough to send someone over the edge like this, or could substances have been invoked as well? We’re not saying it was bathsalts, but it kind of sounds like some bath-salt-esque behavior, that’s all. At least he didn’t rip the guy’s chest open and  eat his  liver.

Rampant Speculation
