Silva eventually drove away.Authorities tracked him down to his home where he was holed up for hours until he surrendered. Authorities used a stun gun on him before he was taken into custody.A probable cause affidavit showed Silva had threatened his estranged wife on several occasions.Silva (16-3 with two no contests) has had a checkered MMA history but was once considered a 205-pound contender.In November 2012, he tested positive for marijuana following a win over Stanislav Nedkov in Macau. The fight was declared a no-contest and Silva was banned for six months.Silva admitted to doping and tampering with his urine at a UFC 125 drug test.

As a result, we are suspending him indefinitely.We are using a third-party law firm to conduct a formal investigation and once we have more information, we’ll determine whether further course of action is necessary.Johnson tweeted the lengths ppl will go just to tell a (deleted) lie is ridiculous.The 30-year-old Johnson had won his last two fights against good opposition as a light-heavyweight after returning to the UFC.

"I was very satisfied with my performance," Federer said. "It doesnt change in terms of being 1-0 up or down -- I have to make sure I played my match."

Wawrinka received a huge ovation stepping on court at the Palexpo indoor arena for his first match in Switzerland since becoming a Grand Slam champion in January.

The third-ranked Wawrinka acknowledged starting "a little bit tight, a little bit nervous." "When Im in that position I know that I dont move so well," he said, after making 70 unforced errors and converting just one of his 10 break points. The Swiss No. 1 also smashed his racket on the hard-court surface in frustration during the second set. Golubev, who lost to Wawrinka in the first round in Australia, overcame his early nerves to win a first-set tiebreak. "I tried to be always aggressive, didnt give him too much time," he said. Wawrinka, who played in a 5-0 loss against Kazakhstan in 2010, said the heavily favoured Swiss would not be complacent. "We didnt come here thinking it was going to be an easy tie," he said.
