Thiago Silva, who recently signed a new deal to return to the UFC, celebrated the news. The Brazilian fighter was relieved with what happened and promised to return even better than his last performance.
Last week, Thiago was cleared of accusations of having threatened his ex-wife and other people with a firearm during a disturbance at professor Pablo Popovitch's jiu-jitsu academy. Even though he was imprisoned for a while for the episode, the charges were dropped and the fighter is free from any legal penalty.
In a video released by his academy, Blackzilians, Thiago Silva celebrated: “It's great news that I'm back. I would like to thank all my friends for their support, my manager Glenn Robinson, the Blackzilians, my teammates. The truth has come out, so now everyone knows the truth. I'm training hard right now – I just had surgery a few weeks ago, but I'm already recovering. You can wait for a new one Thiago Silva”, guaranteed the fighter.
At 31 years old, Thiago has a record of 18 wins and three losses in professional MMA. In his last performance, the São Paulo native dominated Matt Hamill in Barueri, in October last year.
