MMA veteran Marlon Sandro breaks silence two months after alleged attack to fiancee

More than two months after being accused of attacking his fiancee in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, Marlon Sandro has finally spoken.

The longtime MMA veteran, a former Sengoku, Bellator and Pancrase fighter, allegedly injured his fiancee Tayssa Wuensche on Dec. 14, injuring her arm and choking her out in the middle of the street.

Sandro was kicked out of Nova Uniao, where he was one of the top fighters and trainers, and never responded to a request from comments. On Tuesday afternoon, he decided to open up.

“The Gladiator” released a video on his Instagram account, admitting that he “made a mistake” while asking for a chance to fight again.
