A would-be thief in Brazil learned a hard lesson about robbing people when he tried to steal MMA fighter Monique Bastos' phone.
The women's strawweight was on the way for her jiu-jitsu training with two friends when a pair of men attacked her.
"I was going to my jiu-jitsu training when they arrived on a motorcycle and said they wanted our phones."
"I tried to hold my phone, and I realized they were not armed. When they tried to escape, I lifted the rear wheel of the bike and they fell on the ground. The guy who took my phone ran away, but I was able to get the other one."
She manged to get the perpetrator in a triangle choke from behind and hold him there until the police arrived. Wesley Sousa de Araujo was subsequently arrested, and that was not the first time Bastos had to stop a robbery.

"There were two guys, and they were using knives, but I was able to use my jiu-jitsu and get my phone back. It’s a huge risk, but I did it to defend myself and my friends, so I used what I learned."
