Former UFC light heavyweight Thiago Silva is a free man after charges stemming from an alleged domestic violence incident were dropped, according to a report today. Silva, 31, was released from jail after prosecutors found Silva’s wife, Thaysa, “uncooperative, and investigators determined that she has likely moved out of the country,” the Broward County (Florida) district attorney’s office told TMZ Sports . Silva had sat in jail since a Feb. 6 incident at the Pablo Popovitch Mixed Martial Arts Academy in Oakland Park, Fla., where Thaysa trained. Police said the ex-UFC fighter drove up to the school and threatened his wife and Popovich with a gun before fleeing to his home, which led to a four-hour standoff with a S.W.A.T.
