MMA veteran Marlon Sandro charged with attempted murder of fiancée

Marlon Sandro, an MMA veteran known for his stints with Sengoku and Bellator, was recently kicked off Nova Uniao for some pretty disturbing accusations of domestic violence.

The former Sengoku featherweight champion now faces charges stemming from two separate incidents on December 14 and February 9. MMA Fighting has obtained police reports from both occurrences and have detailed the allegations against the 40-year-old fighter.

He was accused of attacking his fiancée on Dec. 14 in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Sandro allegedly injured Tayssa Wuensche’s arm, choked her out in the middle of the street, and kept punching and kicking her after she woke back up.
