"Life gives you surprises, surprises gives you life," says the famous song "Pedro Navaja" by singer Rubén Blades and nothing better applies to the unusual news of a man who tried to steal the cell phone of a UFC fighter and ended up at the hospital.

Polyana Viana, a 27-year-old Brazilian athlete, taught the bandit a lesson that he will surely never forget. The fighter was on a street in the city of Rio de Janeiro in Brazil waiting for a Uber service car to pick her up, suddenly, she felt the presence of a man next to her.

After exchanging a couple of words, the unsuspecting criminal threatened Viana with an alleged weapon, asking her to give him her cell phone. In a matter of seconds, the athlete analyzed the situation and her response was relentless: two fists and a kick that left the thug on the floor.

As revealed by the same fighter to the MMA online site Junkie, after the accurate blows, the man was stunned and she simply proceeded to immobilize him while giving notice to the authorities. At first the thug asked Polyana to let her go, but apparently, fearing she would continue to be beaten, she did not oppose the police call.

After the arrival of the authorities, the thief had to be taken to a medical center to receive medical attention for his wounds, and then he was transferred to a police station. Information about the incident adds that the alleged weapon with which Viana was threatened was a sheet of cardboard that had been cut in the shape of a pistol.

I was fine, he didn't even react. Both fists were very fast and I think he was scared. So he did not react,”revealed the fighter, adding that in the past she had had to live a similar situation during another robbery attempt.
