This was the guy who lost to Rony Jason on TUF right? I remember him. Don't know what lead to him being in prison and now dead but hopefully the next life treats him better, RIP. (If there is a next life)

Wikipedia told me he had been arrested for kidnapping and domestic violence. Doesn’t sound like something a great guy would do, but I’m not familiar with the guys career and don’t know him, so…

Sounds like he decided to show his new roommates how tough he is

Woah, didn't even know he'd gone to jail. I used to like watching him, kill or be killed kind of fighter.

more like be killed

 

[Leonard Haid]

I started watching UFC around the time he was peaking. Three POTNs in a row. If he'd won his next fight against Darren Elkins he would've been ranked. But it wasn't to be. He was exciting to watch, one of the first fighters to get me really excited about MMA.

I remember him being a crazy fighter

Maybe he was a little too crazy in the outside world as well, and in prison that type of craziness can get shut down with the quickness..

 

[Kwic]

Damn, he was a good watch always.

 

[Goatenstein]

He was one of those guys that I didn't have a good feeling about once they were no longer in the UFC.

 

[Ozze]

He really did a number on his wife, not gonna post here but just search her name - Samara Mello.

Nonetheless, a shame it all happened.

 

[EndlessCritic]

Very sad. My sense was that TUF 1 Brazil was pretty big in Brazil, and it's pretty sad that a guy like Pepey couldn't leverage his fame from that show.

 

[Lee Danger]

i remember him very well, i didn't know about his criminal record...

 

[RockyLockridge]

I liked his fights. No idea he was in jail

 

[Skarsgard]

Not gonna mourn someone that puts hands on women.

 

[doggo]

He was probably already threatened for being a wife beater...fuck em.

 

[TriangleMonkey]

Never recovered from being shadow realmed by “the hardest hitting ‘45er” I guess




Obligatory

 

[Guy LeDouche]

Sadly, I actively rooted against him and did not like the guy when he fought in the UFC.

But, I’m very sorry his choices ended him up in that position and it’s very sad that this happened to him. My condolences to his family and rest in peace.

Pepey KO’ing Noad Lahat ruined a parlay back when I was a big gambler. The first of two times that Lahat was a big favorite and got flying kneed…

I remember he was kind of a big deal in Brazil back then, but then fell right off after several losses and getting released.
