Following a public brawl caught on tape, Bellator middleweight Maiquel Falcao (31-6 MMA, 3-1 BFC) and undefeated featherweight Kaue Mena (7-0) have been kicked off their MMA team. Marcelo Brigadeiro, who heads the Renovacao Fight Team in Balneario Camboriu, Santa Catarina, Brazil, today issued a statement that said the fighters’ behavior was not compatible with his team’s philosophy. Falcao appears to have initiated a brawl at a gas station near the team’s home by shoving a female, which prompted several men to brawl with he and Mena both inside and outside the establishment. Both were hit with a wooden board, and Mena was badly beaten while unconscious, according to a Brazilian news report that contained surveillance footage of the incident. Both were taken to Hospital do Coracao in Balneario Camboriu, as previously reported. Falcao was released, but according to Brigadeiro, featherweight Mena remains in a coma
