The 37-fight veteran, a former Sengoku featherweight champion who also competed under the Bellator banner, allegedly injured his fiancee Tayssa Wuensche on Thursday morning in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
Wuensche’s friends posted on social media that Sandro attacked her at the Sao Salvador square in Catete, Rio de Janeiro. According to one of Wuensche's friends, Sandro grabbed Wuensche while she attempted to enter a taxi, throwing her on the ground and injuring her arm and knee. Sandro choked Wuensche out with his hands in the middle of the street, she said, and hit her again multiple times after she woke up.
