Former UFC fighter arrested for alleged gun violence

BAD MMA News — Tue, 17 Dec 2024 03:04:40 +0000

A former UFC fighter was arrested and taken into police custody on alleged gun violence charges. There are many personalities both past and present to have competed under the UFC banner, but not many of them have been in trouble with the police due to gun violence. That was the case for former light heavyweight Vinny Magalhaes after he was arrested last week. Authorities received domestic violence reports at a private residence in Las Vegas. After turning up, they were told Magalhaes threatened several family members with a firearm, though nobody has reported any injuries. The Brazilian was later detained and is being charged with three counts of assault with a deadly weapon.

BAD MMA News — Mon, 24 Feb 2020 02:36:17 +0000

In a tag-team matchup that Submission Underground founder Chael Sonnen calls “the future of grappling,” Kyle Boehm and Vinny Magalhaes claimed overtime victory over Craig Jones and Nicky Rodriguez . The bout served as the headlining contest of Sunday’s Submission Underground 11, which streamed live on UFC Fight Pass from Roseland Theater in Portland, Ore. With Magalhaes and Rodriguez starting in the center, Magalhaes quickly scooted near his partner in a seated position. Rodriguez spent the better part of two minutes trying to gain control of either an arm or a leg in hopes of dragging his opponent to the other side of the cage, but his grip kept sliding off. Referee Dave Hagen then brought the competitors to their feet on a restart. After some brief engagement, Magalhaes again took a seated positioin and backed to his teammate, leading to another restart

How a mindset readjustment took PFL finalist Vinny Magalhes from a skid to a first-round finish streak

“Stellar” is a strong word, but it’s hard to think of another descriptor for Vinny Magalhaes ’ year in the cage. Magalhaes (18-9) started off his MMA year in June, when PFL kicked off its inaugural season. He’d go on to beat four opponents, all via first-round finishes, en route to the 205-pound playoff final that takes place on Dec. 31. Meaning that, if he gets past Sean O’Connell (22-10) at PFL 11, Magalhaes will kick off 2019 about $1 million richer.
