Yan Cabral robbed at gunpoint two days after first UFC win


Jason Silva-USA TODAY Sports



Yan Cabral made his UFC debut on Wednesday with a unanimous decision victory over David Mitchell at UFC Fight Night 29 in Barueri, Brazil, but he lost part of the money he made in the fight as soon as he returned to Rio de Janeiro.


Sources close to the fighter told MMAFighting.com that Cabral had just left the bank when two men robbed him at gunpoint in Marques de Abrantes street, a few blocks from Nova Uniao training center. O Dia first reported the news.


"I live in Rio de Janeiro for 15 years and it has never happened to me before," Cabral reportedly told O Dia.


According to the report, the TUF Brazil 2 contestant lost some training equipment plus the money he would use to pay his head coach and manager, Nova Uniao’s leader Andre Pederneiras.
