Vinny Magalhaes was arrested in Las Vegas this past Saturday for assault with a deadly weapon and now faces three felony charges.
MMA Fighting confirmed with arrest and custody records from court records that Magalhaes is currently in custody at Clark County Detention Center. According to an initial report by Ag. Fight, the former UFC and PFL fighter allegedly threatened three victims with a weapon during a domestic argument. No shots were fired and no injuries were reported.
Magalhaes, 40, appeared in court Tuesday for his initial hearing. His next court appearance is set for Dec. 23. Should Magalhaes be convicted of all three charges, he faces a maximum penalty of 18 years in prison.
A star in the jiu-jitsu world, Magalhaes made a name for himself as a competitor on The Ultimate Fighter 8 where he made it to the light heavyweight tournament finals before losing to Ryan Bader. In all, Magalhaes competed in 33 pro MMA bouts and compiled a 19-12 (2 NC) record, with his most recent fight taking place in June 2021.
Should have trained his hands
Neither “MMA article” details it while the Brazilian one does. Why is that?
involve three potential victims who would have been threatened by the fighter during an argument related to his ex-wife’s family.
The athlete’s ex-wife has a protective order against Vinny Magalhães, which will be reviewed and may be expanded this Friday (13).
No Idea , Thx For Posting
Not to pile on but he seemed a little hot headed on the UG at times.
Or is that unfair to say considering it is the world wide web ?
He basically challenged me over some posts on the UG.
Hes In Jail Without No Bail
He sent me coordinates pretty sure, he posted the address to a gym.
I replied that I was going to be in town for a comic book convention and if time allowed would be over.
He is a fucking idiot. Not only was a sensitive bitch on the old site, he was too stupid to seize the opportunity of a life-time. Fedor had asked him to train BJJ with him. I think at the time he(‘Vinny’) was quite raw at MMA and not doing very well at it. Instead of leaping at the opportunity to train and learn from and reciprocate with the greatest MMA fighter of all time, he insisted on being paid fees for this. How stupid can you get. If I remember right they would have flown him out, paid his expenses and he would have got to train with the greatest. But he insisted on fees as well which killed it. Dumb fuck.
I am trying to remember what caused him to issue the challenge but I do recall he made fun of my Apacalypto thread.
Basically that the movie showed the value of throws and standing arm bars over going to the ground intentionally
He Bought into that one
That fat pig Vinny Magaleesh.
Send him a messsge to his Instagram dm and tell you’re at the gym now. “Where you at mother fucker?”
i wish i’d saved a picture of the mexican dude who went to tarps gym so i could post it now
I did think telling him I was coming into town for a comic book convention was a pretty good flex.
I was coming to town but for a different event, but thought the comic comment would really make him think he had a mark.
He married a stripper
A lot of teh strippers I have met are quite hot in all fairness!
