I usually don't laugh at other people's injuries but this is awesome. And he shot himself!
I definitely do like all the positive news surrounding MMA where they're stopping robberies, punishing muggers, etc.
B*tch got f*cked up!!
CHICAGO -- A convicted felon decided to mug an MMA fighter on the Southwest Side of Chicago, police say, and ended up paying a steep price.
Police did not release the victim's name but said he was able to ward off Anthony Miranda, 24, who ended up with two black eyes and a gunshot wound to the ankle after a tussle.
The victim was sitting in his parked car near 55th St. and Kenneth when Anthony Miranda, 24, walked up to the car asking for a lighter, according to the Chicago Sun-Times.
