Thaysa Kamiji Silva, the ex wife of ex UFC fighter Thiago Silva, who was married to him from 2004 to 2012, believed that cocaine has emphasized the aggressive temperament of the athlete. Thaysa, who trains Jiu-Jitsu and is dating her teacher, Pablo Popovitch said the drug abuse has left her former husband in a uncontrolable state:

“We had a healthy relationship, talking, each had his space. During the last three weeks he was well. I think this is the result of cocaine use. My marriage is over since December 2012. In our relationship, I had to deal with assaults from him. But I never went to the police to talk for fear of his reactions. Even after I that did not speak about his assaults “

Thaysa said in an interview with UOL, citing that she has suffered abuse such as being thrown from a ladder by Thiago.

Thiago Silva was arrested by SWAT , earlier this year in Florida, after entering Pablo Popovitch’s academy armed and threatening his ex-wife and the leader of the team itself. He was later released from police custody and was not charged. The UFC re-signed him.

His wife then released a video of him holding a loaded gun with her pleading with him to hand over the weapon.

The UFC then decided to once again release Silve based on the new evidence. The official statement from the UFC read:

“Based on new information received today in the form of video and audio evidence, Silva has been terminated from his UFC contract,”

Now, in a video uploaded to YouTube by his ex-wife Thaysa Kamiji, Silva appears to hold a gun while arguing with his former partner. The footage appears to be taken from a mobile phone, filming a playback of the video on a computer.

An extract of the video can be seen above, with the translation of the full video shown below.

Thiago Silva: I have (the gun) in my pocket. I didn’t do anything.
Thaysa Kamiji: You’re holding it. For the love of God.
Kamiji: Why are you doing this? Give me the gun.
Silva: Ok, I will give you the gun. Stop. Stop. Police are here.
Kamiji: I would never call the police.
Silva: Stop, you called the police. I know.
Kamiji: Stop grabbing my arm. Stop.
Kamiji: I never lied to you.
Silva: Take it, I will give you the gun. There’s bullet on it, there’s bullet on it.
Kamiji: Stop it, Thiago. Stop it. For the love of God.
