Things just keep going from bad to worse for Thiago Silva.<\/p>\n

Following today’s court hearing<\/a>, which was a result of yesterday’s gun wielding at a BJJ school and stand-off with police<\/a>, UFC officials have decided that now is the time to part ways with the Brazilian Slugger and have thus terminated his contract.<\/p>\n

UFC officals released a statement confirming the decision:<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Ultimate Fighting Championship has terminated the contract of Thiago Silva, effective immediately.\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

UFC President Dana White also touched on the subject with TMZ Sports<\/a>, stating the following:<\/p>\n

“This guy will never fight in the UFC again!”<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The now former UFC fighter, Thiago Silva, is being charged with multiple counts (2) of aggravated assault with a firearm. Additionally, the judge labelled Thiago as a potential risk to the health and safety of the community, namely his wife and Pablo Popovitch, who were named as victims in Silva’s arrest.<\/p>\n

The chance of bond was ultimately withheld by the court<\/a>, and Silva was instructed to surrender his passport.<\/p>\n

Talk about having a bad day. Well, 24 hours anyway.<\/p>\n
