Polyana Viana taught a potential robber a painful lesson Saturday—don't try to steal from a UFC fighter.

Viana recalled her Saturday evening to Fernanda Prates of MMAjunkie, noting a man attempted to steal her phone but was rather unsuccessful.

"When he saw I saw him, he sat next to me. He asked me the time, I said it, and I saw he wasn't going to leave. So I already moved to put my cell phone in my waist. And then he said, 'Give me the phone. Don't try to react, because I'm armed.' Then he put his hand over (a gun), but I realized it was too soft.
