The first time Maiquel Falcao assaulted a woman, it cost him his UFC contract. The second time, it possibly cost his teammate, Kaue Mena the rest of his MMA career. One July evening in 2013, at a gas station in Itajai, Santa Catarina, a tipsy Falcao struck a woman after they had a few words.

A few moments later, Falcao and Mena found themselves facing off against a gang of 6-7 men. As seen in the video, their resistance was drowned out. Falcao said that he was robbed and beaten.

But Mena was left fighting for his life after being beaten with a piece of wood. The brutality of the assault is nigh incomprehensible and sickening. The almost undefeated Mena went nearly blind in one eye and doctors had to reattach part of his skull. When interviewed in 2014, he was inching his way to recovery but harrowingly, there is no record of him having fought since.

Falcao, who was in the midst of a career resurgence after challenging for the Bellator Middleweight title, was severed from the promotion. He now fights in Europe.
