This. Is. Awesome.
Monique Bastos is a strawweight MMA fighter in Brazil. She was walking to her jiu-jitsu training with two friends in Brazil on Tuesday night when two men attacked the group, asking for their phones.
Bastos realized the men weren’t armed and proceeded to attack them. As you might imagine, the unsuspecting robbers were taken by surprise and things didn’t quite end in their favor.
That’s Bastos holding one of the robbers in a triangle choke headlock. She told MMAFighting.com that she used a rear-naked choke to get him to the ground in the first place before keeping him there with the triangle maneuver.
