Alex Oliveira has finally broken his silence about allegations of domestic violence this past summer.
Nine months after he was accused of assaulting his ex-wife, Mariana Cassiano, in their hometown of Tres Rios, the Brazilian MMA fighter told MMA Fighting they never separated – and the woman is three months into her second pregnancy.
“We had an argument, she and I, like every couple has,” said Oliveira. “But I’m a famous guy in my hometown. If I threw a punch on a woman, I (would have killed her), so the story is wrong.
