One more occurrence of a professional fighter who commits domestic violence happened during the early hours of Saturday (24). This time, the case happened to the carioca Alex Cowboy , who assaulted his ex-wife in the city of Três Rios, where he lives, in the state of Rio de Janeiro.
According to the
G1 , the incident began when the 24-year-old former Cowboy companion went to the fighter's home for grandparents to see the child as young as 5 months old. Soon after, the fighter arrived drunk on the spot and demonstrated the desire to pilot his motorcycle holding the baby. The confusion began with the negative response of her mother, who was eventually beaten with hair-pulling and punching by Alex, who still broke some windows and the door of her parents' house.
The midfielder took his son to the force and left the bike place as promised - no helmet. Shortly thereafter, the child was dropped off at Alex's sister's home, which left the place still on the bike and was not found so far. Police are still looking for the whereabouts of the athlete.
Officers at the police station in the city of Três Rios also reported that Alex was involved in another mess during the night after leaving an alcoholic party and discussing with the local security, who complained at the police station about threats. In all, Alex was indicted for crimes of threat, injury and bodily injury.
This is Alex Cowboy's second police case in just six months. In
December 2018 , he ended up involved in a mess by trying to break up a fight between members of his family on Christmas Eve. This one arrived in very accentuated proportions after a grenade was thrown towards the fighter, with shards of the explosive having hit him in the leg.
Inside the octagon, the Brazilian's stage was not very good. With two victories in his last five fights, and coming from two consecutive setbacks, the 31-year-old has always been known and acclaimed by the public for his charisma and simple manner, and has always delivered lively fights since arriving at the UFC in 2015.
If convicted by the court, the situation of the fighter before the UFC can be very complicated, since the organization dismissed fighters involved in similar cases in the past, like the Brazilian also Thiago Silva - although he often turns a blind eye to some more valued athletes. Until the publication of this article, however, the promotion has not yet pronounced on the case.
