Combate Americas featherweight champion Bruno Canetti, 29, survived a gun shot wound to the chest during an attempted robbery in Buenos Aires, Argentina (per NYPost). Canetti is the brother of UFC veteran Guido Canetti.
According to a local news outlet, Canetti was ambushed when riding his motorcycle through the Lanus neighborhood. His assailants reportedly demanded that Canetti hand over the keys to his bike.
