It has been a tough few days for UFC fighters in Brazil. Just one week after strawweight champion Jessica Andrade was robbed of her car and smartphone at gunpoint, in Rio de Janeiro, The Ultimate Fighter Brazil 3 winner Antonio Carlos Junior suffered a similar fate in Sao Paulo.
In an interview with Combate, the 29-year-old detailed how he was robbed of his watch, a Rolex, at gunpoint, while he was sitting in traffic alongside a friend while on their way to a photo shoot.
“I was going to a photo shoot,” Carlos Junior said.
