Mugger brings no knife to an @$$-whupping

LinkyStrawweight fighter Monique Bastos was on the way for her jiu-jitsu training with two friends in Acailandia, Brazil, on Tuesday night, when two men attacked her. They wanted their phones, but they had no idea Bastos was an MMA fighter.
"I was going to my jiu-jitsu training when they arrived on a motorcycle and said they wanted our phones," Bastos told MMAFighting.com. "I tried to hold my phone, and I realized they were not armed. When they tried to escape, I lifted the rear wheel of the bike and they fell on the ground. The guy who took my phone ran away, but I was able to get the other one."
Bastos, who has six professional MMA fights on her record and a few jiu-jitsu matches and muay thai bouts, got him into a rear-naked choke and took him to the sidewalk, where she locked a triangle choke and waited for the police.
Wesley Sousa de Araujo was arrested 15 minutes later.
The cellphone video shot at the scene by bystanders shows the jackwagon she was able to pounce on getting worked over for those 15 minutes while he cries like a girl and pleads for mercy, while the crowd goes through his wallet and his other victim roundly bitches him out until the police rescue him from the clutches of his (106-115)-pound would-be victim.
Bastos is now 2-0 in mugging attempts in her neighborhood.
