Rio robber's bloody mistake mugging a female MMA fighter
7 JAN 2019

A robber who tried to steal a cellphone from a young woman in Rio de Janeiro learned the hard way that mugging a mixed martial arts (MMA) fighter who goes by the nickname "the Iron Lady" is not an excellent idea.

Polyana Viana, an Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) strawweight, brought the hapless perp down with two punches and a kick and held him in a "rear-naked choke" before making him sit and wait for the police, she told the sports website MMA Junkie.

The attempted crime happened late Saturday as Viana, 27, was waiting for an Uber outside her apartment block. She said the man told her he had a gun but she surmised it probably wasn't real and in any case "he won't have time to draw it" before she went into action.

. . .

Viana posted images of the would-be robber, looking dejected and bruised, with blood on his sleeveless shirt and on a hand, as she kept his arm in a "kimura-like position" until the police arrived.

Hooray!

5. I swear to you, this would have been my daughter's response!

She's not quite as fierce but has my 2 granddaughters for backup! (I enrolled her in tai kwan do when she was 7; she's got her black).
