Mugger BEAT UP by MMA Fighter

Thug Pummeled After Attempting to Mug Chicago Man Who Turns Out to Be an MMA Fighter

One convict will think twice before attempting to mug anyone again.

The Chicago Sun-Times reports that 24-year-old Anthony Miranda allegedly pulled a gun on a driver in a parked car on the Southwest Side of Chicago Friday night.

The thug ended up with two black eyes and a gunshot wound to the ankle.

The intended victim…turned out to be an MMA fighter.

The Sun-Times reports on the Cook County man who now faces charges of armed robbery and aggravated discharge of a firearm, a Class X felony:

“After getting some money, he ordered the driver out of the car, police News Affairs Officer John Mirabelli said.

At some point, Miranda’s attention was diverted and the victim was able to grab control of the gun and the two wrestled.

During the fight, Miranda accidentally discharged his gun, shooting himself in the ankle, Mirabelli said.

The victim, who told police he’s a martial arts expert and ultimate fighting champion was able to pin Miranda down until police arrived. Police arrived to find Miranda with a face full of cuts and two black eyes.

Miranda had originally asked the man, whose name the police have yet not released, for lighter.

Tactical Urban Defense Testing

Today, after 8 sessions of 1 and half hours each of training to defend against gun, knife, blunt weapon, chokes, multiple attackers, and various other forms of assault, I tested against 3 experienced Mixed Martial Arts Instructors who relentlessly and aggressively came at me with various weapons and attacks for 5 minutes. I had a to put together everything that I have learned from the course, Muay Thai, Boxing, Jiu Jitsu, and movies... Yes you can learn from Jean-Claude Van Damme and Chuck Norris movies. It was physically and mentally taxing. But when attacked you have to be willing to do whatever it takes to come out of it it ALIVE. You may have to gauge the eyes out of your attacker or take his life. You need to have the mindset ingrained into your psyche that you will do whatever it takes to survive. Because if you give up, you are giving up on your family, your friends, and your future. You cannot give up. You must fight until the end. I highly recommend that everyone signs up for a self defense course and/or takes up Mixed Martial Arts. It is a great stress reliever and confidence booster.
