Thiago Silva went from a highly-regarded UFC prospect to getting knocked out by Lyoto Machida, following which he hit a terrible downward spiral both on the personal as well as professional front.

Silva had famously threatened his ex-wife Thaysa’s then-suitor Pablo Popovitch outside the latter’s BJJ (Brazilian Jiu Jitsu) Center back in 2014. Although cooler heads prevailed and Silva retreated from the altercation, the former UFC fighter was then caught on tape threatening the aforementioned woman with a gun.

Furthermore, Silva is notorious for going all-out on his sparring partners—irrespective of whether they are trained professionals or downright novices—injuring them in the process.
