Melvin
Manhoef reportedly made a trio of would-be burglars regret
targeting his residence.
Manhoef revealed to Dutch outlet
Vechtsport Info that he chased down three men who tried to
break into his house near Landsmeer, Netherlands, on Monday. The
fighter then reportedly ran the burglars’ vehicle off the road and
smashed one of the car windows with his bare fist.
Manhoef said he then made the three men wait on their knees until
police arrived. The burglars were allegedly seen around Manhoef’s
home will he was doing a promotional visit to Paris for Bellator
MMA before making their robbery attempt the second time around.
Manhoef is slated to return to action against former UFC title
challenger Yoel Romero
in a light heavyweigh bout at Bellator 280 on May 6 in Paris. It
will be his first fight since suffering a second-round TKO defeat
to Corey
Anderson at Bellator 251 in November 2020. The 45-year-old
known as “No Mercy” has competed for KSW, Dream, One Championship,
Strikeforce and K-1 while compiling a 32-15-1 mark with two no
contests.
It’s unclear if the incident will affect Manhoef’s bout against
Romero. According to Vechtsport Info, Manhoef had stitches on his
hand.
