Following an initial report of domestic violence, former UFC bantamweight Raulian Paiva’s wife has recently changed her story. Per Globo Esporte, the fighter’s wife, who also serves as his manager, now claims he never did any of the things she accused him of.

In the original report, she had pressed charges against Paiva for allegedly abusing her psychologically and physically, while also threatening to kill her. In the outcome, Raulian was arrested for domestic violence but got released after posting bail.

The police chief in charge of the case claimed that a witness could confirm Paiva’s threats and her original accusations.
