Brazilian welterweight Vanilto Antunes went through quite the scare before his title unification bout at Favela Kombat 35. Only three days prior to the November 21 event, the 26-year-old survived a serious car accident on a highway in the state of Rio de Janeiro, but came out of it unscathed and won his match without even having to delay the contest.
In an interview with Combate, Antunes explained how his car was directly hit on the side by another vehicle, which caused Vanilto’s car to flip three times and stop upside down on the middle of the road.
