Here is the report:
“The UFC fighter Yan Cabral was the victim of an assault at Rua Marques de Abrantes in Flamengo, Rio’s South Zone, on the afternoon of Friday. The Nova União athlete, who debuted with a victory over David Mitchell at UFC Barueri last Wednesday, had just withdraw the money you use to pay his coach, André Pederneiras, when he was the victim of two criminals on a motorcycle, in front of the gym where he trains.
“The duo of robbers put a gun in the face of Cabral and took his backpack with money and training equipment. ‘I’ve lived in Rio 15 years and it never happened [before]. It was a big shock,’ reported the fighter, who was not injured.”
Cabral was a member of the TUF 2 cast, but had to leave the show because of an injury. He currently doesn’t have a fight lined up in the octagon.
