UFC light heavyweight veteran Thiago Silva was recently released again from the organization after new and startling evidence on his disturbing behavior surfaced.
An intoxicated Silva had threatened to shoot everybody inside the Pablo Popovitch Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Center.

There were 25 people in the gym that he threatened, including his wife Thaysa who he accused of having relations with the gym owner. That same day, Silva also sent a text message to his wife saying he would hire someone to kill her.
After the incident, Silva retreated to his home and barricaded himself in. A SWAT team was called to infiltrate and took Silva out after knocking him out with a tazer.
A couple of weeks ago - on September 4 - all the charges were dropped. The Blackzilians announced the next day that Silva was back in the UFC, with president Dana White saying that every man had the right to earn a living.
However, Thaysa, had come forward and discredited Silva's return by posting two video clips.
The first one showed Silva angrily trying to find Thaysa's male lover inside the house, while the second one showed him allegedly on cocaine.
These two videos lead the UFC to once again release the Brazilian fighter.
It has been one year since Silva last fought in competitive Mixed Martial Arts (MMA). His last fight was against Matt Hammill, winning by unanimous decision.
He has had 21 fights, compiling 16 wins with 12 by either knockout or technical knockout.
