Man tries to rob UFC’s Polyana Viana in Rio de Janeiro, pays painful price
On Saturday night at around 8 p.m. local time, a man tried to steal UFC strawweight Polyana Viana's phone. Not only did he leave empty-handed, but he also got some painful reminders of his mistake in the process.
On Sunday, Viana recounted the events to MMAjunkie.
According to Viana, she was waiting for an Uber in front of her apartment complex in Jacarepagua, a neighborhood in the West Zone of Rio de Janeiro, when a man approached her. He must have been sneaky, Viana said, because when she noticed his presence he was already quite close.
"When he saw I saw him, he sat next to me," Viana said. "He asked me the time, I said it, and I saw he wasn't going to leave. So I already moved to put my cell phone in my waist. And then he said, 'Give me the phone. Don't try to react, because I'm armed.' Then he put his hand over (a gun), but I realized it was too soft.
"He was really close to me. So I thought, 'If it's a gun, he won't have time to draw it.' So I stood up. I threw two punches and a kick. He fell, then I caught him in a rear-naked choke. Then I sat him down in the same place we were before and said, 'Now we'll wait for the police.'"
