Mixed Martial Arts are shaken.
Last Monday, Brazilian fighter Adriano Sylberth Santana Pereira, also known as "Mamute", was brutally murdered in his house in front of his wife and nine-year-old son.
Three men entered his house and shot him. When they realized he had not died, they stabbed him several times in the chest, which ended his life. Fortunately, his wife and son were unharmed, within the bad situation.
At the moment, there is no reason that explains this event, but two young men have been arrested, who denied killing the fighter, but confessed to helping those who did it, who have not been arrested yet.
The first hypothesis is that the murderers tried to rob the fighter's house, and he confronted them. Although right now there is no official explanation. The police continue to investigate the murder in search of more evidence.
We will have to see if we have more news about this case soon, which we hope will be resolved fairly. At the moment, there is no more information, but surely as the investigation progress, more details will come to light.
The fighter was an experienced veteran of the sport, having fought in more than thirty professional fights.
