Personal Life
Chris and his wife, who is Brazilian, have two children, a son and daughter.
Robbed at Gunpoint
Before his UFC 98: Evans vs. Machida fight against Brock Larson, Wilson, along with his family, was robbed at gunpoint at their home in Brazil.
According to an interview Wilson did with Slam! Sports he was on his way home from training when he was jumped as he entered his apartment complex.
Wilson who is training in Rio de Janeiro for his upcoming fight with Brock Larson at UFC 98 on May 23, 2009 said that a man held him at gunpoint and called for his friends. Wilson was taken up to his apartment by the five thugs who were all armed. As they arrived inside, Wilson’s wife and two children were in the bathroom. The thieves started taking whatever they wanted including a television, laptop, jewelry and they even stole some of his children’s clothing including their Nike sneakers.
If that wasn’t bad enough they loaded all of the merchandise into Wilson’s car and forced him to drive them to their destination. Wilson admitted he was unsure if he was coming back but thankfully it all worked out and no one was harmed. He called police who launched an investigation into what happened. Wilson went on to say that he is still ready to fight and that he feels good but that it was a heavy burden on his shoulders.
Unfortunately for Wilson, the Nevada State Athletic Commission did not approve some of his medical paperwork, so he had to replaced by Mike Pyle.
Wilson returned at UFC Fight Night 19 on September 16, 2009 against the man who replaced him, Mike Pyle. Wilson got overaggressive in the third round, going in for a take-down and getting caught with a Guillotine Choke, tapping out 2:15 of the third round. After the fight Wilson was released from the UFC.
