Former UFC light heavyweight champion Mauricio “Shogun” Rua had an eventful trip to Rio de Janeiro recently when his car was stopped and he was robbed at gunpoint. Shogun was in Rio earlier this month to do some promotional work for a sponsor. He and his manager, Eduardo Alonso, went out to dinner with fellow UFC fighter Demian Maia , who was also in town representing one of his sponsors. After dropping Alonso and Maia off at their hotel in Barra da Tijuca, Shogun was driving a friend’s car back to his own hotel when he was stopped by another car. Four armed men robbed him and stole his friend’s car. Shogun was not harmed.
