Córdoba
, but he got a surprise: the owner was
an experienced Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) fighter
, who immobilized him with a jiu-jitsu shot.

“Guachín, don't get confused with us.
Who are you going to rob?

The thief begged the experienced athlete to release him: "What did I steal from you? Nothing, let me go," he told him, while he remained subdued on the floor by the fighter.
