In one of the processes, the former rival of Anderson Silva was accused of felonious assault by strangulation. The aggravating factor, however, was one of the actions withdrawn. The other four situations involved alleged 'less serious' incidents.

Member of the Las Vegas Police Force, Larry Hadfield, at the time, reported to 'MMA Fighting' what had happened on the premises of the Four Seasons Hotel after the alleged attacks.

“An indictment was issued for each victim of the incident. The accused was then escorted out of the property. Because the offenses were committed in the absence of law enforcement, no arrests were made,” Hadfield said.

Although he is 'free' from five lawsuits, Chael still cannot consider himself calm. Initially, the former fighter would have to face 11 charges, leaving six legal procedures to be resolved.
