Sometimes you've had all you can take and you can't take anymore. It appears the UFC may have reached that point with its embattled, suspended MMA legend, Wanderlei Silva. The promotion filed suit against Silva in Nevada district court on Tuesday.

At the moment all we know is the case type: Intentional Misconduct. Electronic access to the complaint isn't currently available so we'll learn more of the nitty-gritty details as soon as a hard copy of the complaint is requested from the courthouse in Las Vegas.

It doesn't take a genius to infer that the UFC is likely going after Silva for any or all of the numerous accusatory statements he's made against the promotion while still technically being under contract, as his suspension for running away from a Nevada Athletic Commission drug test gets settled.

In fact, just six days ago UFC President Dana White gave a not-so-subtle Twitter hint ' ;) ' that a lawsuit might happen. It's now official and we should learn more shortly.
