Former Sengoku featherweight champion and Bellator MMA competitor Marlon Sandro allegedly attacked his fiancee, Tayssa Wuensche, in Rio de Janeiro on Thursday.
According to reports from Combate and MMAFighting.com, Sandro grabbed Wuensche and threw her on the ground as she attempted to enter a taxi at the San Salvador Square.
Sandro then allegedly choked Wuensche unconscious in the middle of the street and hit her multiple times after she regained consciousness. One of Wuensche’s friends posted an account of the incident — along with photos — to Instagram. Wuensche doesn’t plan on pressing charges against Sandro.
