Last week (Fri., Oct. 4, 2024), Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) fighter, Antonio Trocoli, was arrested on misdemeanor battery charges in Huntington Beach, Calif., for allegedly assaulting Wesley Santos, who is the estranged ex-husband of UFC star Mackenzie Dern and the father of their daughter, Moa.
Trocoli — who failed in his Octagon debut earlier this year at UFC Saudi Arabia — is now married to Dern.
Santos issued a statement to MMAFighting.com about the alleged incident.
“Mackenzie Dern is my ex-wife and after our divorce she married Antonio ‘Malvado’ Jose Trocoli da Silveira Filho. We divorced and have shared custody of our daughter Moa, but Antonio never stopped following me,” Santos wrote. “We had a deal that he would not be part of the custody but he was always nearby, threatening and disturbing in every custody change. He sent messages through Moa, saying he would beat me up, and Moa told me clearly.
“I dropped my daughter at school this past Friday and was going back home on a skateboard when I saw a white car stop, and I started recording. It was Antonio. He got out of the car and punched me, and the car kept moving [along], and he ran back inside the car. Cops were called, there were several witnesses, and Antonio was arrested for battery.”
Neither Dern nor Tricoli have addressed the alleged incident at the time of this writing.
Tricoli, who hails from Brazil, was signed to the promotion in 2019 after a contract-winning performance on Contender Series; however, he was then released after testing positive for a banned substance. After winning on the regional scene, UFC signed him again in 2022 to fight Ovince Saint Preux, but he had to withdraw.
The 33-year-old is scheduled to make his second UFC appearance at UFC Vegas 100 against Tresean Gore next month.
Maybe it’s ‘cause someone asked her about it in English.
Is this the same dude that tried to trick bobby green to meeting up with Dern in the hotel room to try and jump him ?
IN
Teresting
He deserved to be punched for being a grown man riding a skateboard.
He took his daughter to school on a skateboard?
Rich, famous and hot but still destined to have a terrible life because her taste in men.
Sheesh.
That’s not the type of chick you impregnate for a peaceful life, but I get it.
The most disturbing part of this situation is the ex husband using a skateboard for transportation. I at first thought it was fucked up a pro fighter would beat up his wife’s ex but I kind of get it now.
I think we need some scantily clad pics of Dern posted to help us heal from this ordeal.
Huntington Beach has really gone down hill since running mayor Tito out of town.
Isn’t ex-husband a pro-surfer?
So Dern went from marrying a guy that everyone thought was her brother. To marrying a guy that wants to fight everyone, lol.
Didn’t she remarry pretty quickly after the divorce? Seems like she did it immediately afterwards.
Seems suspicious IMHO.
Winner!
You could save her
not a single dern pic.
