Former UFC fighter Vinicius de Magalhães, better known as Vinny Magalhães, was arrested last Saturday (7), in Las Vegas, United States. The 40-year-old Brazilian is accused of committing three armed crimes and, according to the Las Vegas Police Department's records, remains detained at the Clark County Detention Center, without bail set until December 23, the day his trial will begin. The information was initially released by 'Ag Fight'.
According to the police report, Vinny Magalhães allegedly threatened three alleged victims 'with a deadly weapon' during an argument with his ex-wife's family. According to the report, there were no shots fired and no injuries.

Vinny's ex-wife has a protective order against the fighter, which will be reviewed and may be extended this Friday (13). The Brazilian could face up to 18 years in prison if convicted on all three charges.
Multiple world jiu-jitsu champion and ADCC Hall of Famer Vinny Magalhães had two stints with the UFC, between 2008 and 2009 and then again between 2012 and 2013, but was unsuccessful in the organization. The Brazilian fought for the WSOF belt in 2016 and was a PFL finalist in 2018, but left professional MMA in 2021.
In 2013, when he was still playing for the UFC, Vinny Magalhães revealed that he was the half-brother of singer Sidney Magal.
