 he was in the best moment of his career, but apparently beating his opponents wasn't enough for him.

It is worth pointing out that it's very easy to get an RO on someone. Innocent until proven guilty, but we'll see where this goes.

@skelli is right. Let due process take its course, if any further action is required after an investigation, the UFC can take it then.

Welcome back Thiago good bye Rumble. Makes sense. those double standards. Thiago and Rumble should fight each other , loser gets cut, winner gets tied down while 30 Domestic abuse victims enter the cage and beat them for 15 min. Obviously there will be 5 min intermissions so Stitch can stop the bleeding. we wouldnt want an early stoppage on this one.

Edit: Just saw about 3 posts down Thiago got cut again so I guess UFC learned there lesson after those videos got posted.

Uh, serious question and I realize this isn't just a one race issue, but with all the guys getting in trouble for it recently I have to ask...did someone just tell black guys hitting women was an option, or *** is going on?

Weird coincidence that both these things blew up at the same time ... AJ's one was two years ago and Thiago's also wasn't new ... they both train / live in Florida, you think maybe their wives have been holding that **** inside for a while and now have talked and decided to come out together and back each other up?

White people are more psychotic about it, we at least train dogs to attack our women folk, or just attempt to flat out kill them and their boyfriend and get caught due to pizza.

I wonder if the UFC did this (and re-cut Thiago Silva) on its own or if Fox (or some major sponsor) forced the issue. 

Either way, I hope the investigation turns up something conclusive one way or the other (although that's asking a lot in these types of cases unfortunately).  And hopefully they conduct it as quickly as possible so that all involved can move forward appropriately.

Black and latino woman love to antagonize and/or assault until the point of explosive violence and won't stop until it happens. their like terminators of domestic violence. they nearly always go back to their men too.

I have no sympathy for people who do that **** but go back to each other. ******* sucks for the real victims though.

But i wonder in this case if she's speaking up now because the recent NFL scandals have given her some courage, or she's just trying to cash in. neither would be surprising.

This stuff has been making me realize the difference between fan sentiment and the actual moral standing of top fighters. 

Say this is true, a guy like Rumble, who is loved currently by a huge portion of the fan base, would be completely on the outs with them. 

Then you've got a guy like Bisping, who by all accounts is a loving, supportive husband and father who trains cardio with his dog all day. And he's hated because of his attitude toward other fighters. Kind of ironic.

True ... people take into fight personas a bit too much ... 

Also, judging by Bisping's physique I'm 99.99% sure he's totally clean, judging by his ever-improving skillset (especially adding good offensive and defensive wrestling) and cardio his work ethic is crazy and he's a true professional who'll work his ass off to sell a fight, take on anyone, anywhere on any notice. 

But who cares, he's got a wonky accent and spat in the direction of a corner who had been disrespecting him for months.

Restraining order doesn't mean physical abuse. So yeah, let's wait.

@amp112, she complained about violence and said he broke two of her teeth ... pretty abusive if true ...
