Jessica Andrade, Wife Robbed at Gunpoint in Brazil


Ultimate Fighting Championship strawweight queen Jessica Andrade and her wife were robbed at gunpoint early Thursday morning.

First reported by Brazilian news site Ag. Fight on Thursday, newly minted champion Andrade (20-6) and her wife Fernanda Gomes Andrade were robbed in Niteroi, a municipality within Rio de Janeiro.

According to Fernanda's social media, their car -- a grey Honda HRV -- and cellphones were taken, but they are safe and unharmed. Reportedly, the whereabouts of the robber are unknown. Speaking with MMAFighting.com, Andrade's coach Gilliard Parana reaffirmed that the two were not hurt during the robbery.

Andrade recently won the strawweight belt when she knocked out Rose Namajunas with a second-round slam at UFC 237 earlier this month. In doing so, she became the first female UFC fighter to ever record a slam knockout, and also earned the distinction as the only strawweight to ever earn multiple knockouts in the division's history. With 11 victories, she is currently the winningest female fighter in UFC history.
