Alexandre Ramos’ latest run-in with the law got him arrested in Portugal.

The 28-year-old Brazilian fighter, who competed as a featherweight in the first edition of The Ultimate Fighter in 2012, losing to Hugo Viana in the preliminary bout, was arrested on April 22 in Portugal for international cocaine trafficking.

Ramos was arrested at the Francisco Sa Carneiro airport in Porto, Portugal. Ramos’ lawyer Fabiano Alves confirmed the news to MMA Fighting following an initial report by Combate.

According to his lawyer, police found drugs in a suitcase with a false bottom, but Ramos claims he had no idea he was carrying drugs. Asked who was responsible for the drugs, Alves said he can’t reveals the names since the case is still being investigated by Portuguese authorities.

"Upon landing in Portugal, his dream became a disappointment, since he was deceived,” Ramos’ lawyer said in a statement provided to MMA Fighting. "The cruelty of the one who practiced such act did not only overthrow an athlete, but made a family collapse, destroyed a life and a promising career, but, like our client, we also believe that he will once again be among the names that have leveled and praised MMA in the national and international ranking.”

Ramos, who now competes as a welterweight, went 4-3 since being on The Ultimate Fighter. Ramos’ last MMA bout took place at Aspera FC 35 in April 23, 2016, and he won by submission 50 seconds into the first round.

This is not Ramos’ first controversy outside the cages, though.

Back in 2009, years before trying out for the UFC reality show, “Sangue” was one of the people involved in a massive brawl after a soccer game in Curitiba. Despite not being legally charged for his actions, the MMA fighter was kicked out of Mauricio Rua’s gym at the time.
