Video: Two arrests made in shooting of former UFC fighter

Former Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) fighter Mikey Burnett was shot three times during a robbery attempt earlier this week in Tulsa, Oklahoma. The incident also left Burnett's son wounded and both were forced to undergo surgery after being rushed to the hospital.

Thanks to multiple tips from eyewitness accounts, police have arrested teenagers Harold Thompson, 16, and Kywaun Washington, 17, for their roles in Monday's parking lot stick up. Both have been charged with one count of attempted robbery with a dangerous weapon and two counts of assault with a deadly weapon.

According to an arrest report, Thompson walked up to Mikey Burnett and asked to use his cell phone just as Mikey and his son were leaving the gym.
