Anyone who keeps up with MMA, or more to the point, the UFC, has heard this weeks news about one of the UFC's fighters getting their contract terminated. Tiago Silva was arrested this past friday on two counts of attempted murder, aggrevated battery with a deadly weapon and obstruction without violence, as reported by NBC Miami. Miami SWAT was called to go in and get out of his house, where he had barricaded himself. Within a very short time, UFC president Dana White announced that they were terminating his contract and that "This guy will never fight in the UFC again."
