Newly signed with the UFC, flyweight Raulian Paiva and his girlfriend, Tieli Medeiros, were involved in a car accident after leaving a night club in Santana, Brazil, on October 21. Paiva, who just scored a contract after participating in Dana White’s Contender Series Brazil, has yet to make his Octagon debut.
According to Globo Esporte’s report, Paiva allegedly was involved in an argument around four in the morning at the night club. Ronildo Nobre, Raulian’s coach, claims his athlete and Medeiros left the place on a motorcycle but were followed by two people and hit at an intersection.
