"The East Side Assassin" was nearly assassinated on the east side of Tulsa, Oklahoma.
Mixed martial arts (MMA) veteran Mikey Burnett, who competed three times for Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) back in the late nineties, was shot three times when armed bandits tried to rob him in the parking lot of Rib Crib, a popular BBQ joint in "The Sooner State."
Even worse, they also shot his son, according to News on 6:
Tulsa police said, as the father, Mikey Burnett, and son, Freddie Burnett, got to their car, two men walked up and tried to rob them.
