The Finnish featherweight claims he stopped a pair of robbery suspects earlier this month, knocking out one of them after it appeared Amirkhani’s brother was being stabbed. Two years ago, Amirkhani captured video of himself allegedly stopping a robbery at a coffee shop in Sweden.
On Monday’s edition of The MMA Hour with Ariel Helwani, Amirkhani, 28, said he was cooking with family members in early March when his brother’s wife got a call. There was apparently a robbery attempt at a friend’s home and a child was inside hiding in the closet with a knife.
