"He was was arrested in Las Vegas this past Saturday for assault with a deadly weapon and now faces three felony charges."

MMA Fighting confirmed with arrest and custody records from court records that Magalhaes is currently in custody at Clark County Detention Center. According to an initial report by Ag. Fight, the former UFC and PFL fighter allegedly threatened three victims with a weapon during a domestic argument. No shots were fired and no injuries were reported.

Magalhaes, 40, appeared in court Tuesday for his initial hearing. His next court appearance is set for Dec. 23. Should Magalhaes be convicted of all three charges, he faces a maximum penalty of 18 years in prison.

A star in the jiu-jitsu world, Magalhaes made a name for himself as a competitor on The Ultimate Fighter 8 where he made it to the light heavyweight tournament finals before losing to  Ryan Bader. In all, Magalhaes competed in 33 pro MMA bouts and compiled a 19-12 (2 NC) record, with his most recent fight taking place in June 2021."

I remember every Brazillian fighter hated his guts cause he helped Sonnen training against Anderson. But he seemed to be a nice dude. It's a shame.

Well that's a name I haven't heard in a while. So he threathened 3 people with a weapon? He could be in the right but getting caught doing that is bad either way.

He always seemed unhinged tbh. I remember his crazy argument with big nog on TUF.

 

[Rataria]

He would. Lol

 

[Marko Polo]

What’s with dudes training to fight their whole lives and then trying to solve disputes with weapons. Makes no sense

 

[Westbrick]

Most people hate his ass in Brasil, his arrogance is at Gracie's level.

Not even being Sidney Magal brother can save him.

Sounds like it was multiple people. Taking on multiple people at once with your bare hands is a tough task lol

all i remember about this guy was they hyped his jiu jitsu, he was gigantic for the division at the time, but had absolutely no chin.

Has Renato Laranja commented on this yet?

No chin and negative striking.

Was he that dude that got KO’d by Anthony Perosh of all people?

 

[wildchild88]

Well that was stupid, he’s fucked now.

Someone needs to do a study on these cases, seems like mma fighters have a high proportion of committing violent crimes, influenced by CTE, or just the personality traits of men that fight for a living?

My first thought as well.

Same thing with boxers, combat sports attract violent people.

It wasn't a crazy argument at all. He made a comment about Nog's BJJ being basic and it offended Nog. It got like 30 seconds of screen time cause it really wasn't all that explosive or interesting.

Well it was one of the more memorable moments of that season. It did spark heated discussions from MMA fans at the time. That and the drunk asshole who kept fucking up.

Strange to use it as evidence that he's always seemed unhinged, though. He was quite rational in his critiques of Nog's BJJ, even if he's a dick for saying bringing it up. You make it sound like he was Junie Browning or something.

 

[sabretitan]

Damn that sucks. I would have loved to see him vs Ryan in his prime

Yes thats what I heard too

Junie Browning is the name. Thanks.

Vinny always seemed somewhat loco for different reasons. Not sure why you're stuck on that. I even said he might be in the right here. Who knows?

And no i didn't use it as "evidence". I just mentioned it, but if you want to argue sure.

Criticizing Big Nogs BJJ is unhinged, especially when your BJJ in MMA is so much worse. What was his rational anyways?

I realize it's nothing compared to what he's charged with but it seems important to you
