UFC veteran Felipe Colares recently managed to apprehend and restrain a thief in Brazil, using his top-level BJJ skills to do so. Colares is a 10-4 professional MMA fighter who competed in the UFC from 2019 to 2022 and is a former Jungle Fight Featherweight champion. He’s far from the first UFC veteran to intervene when a robbery is taking place, as Kevin Holland famously prevented a carjacking at one point. It’s likely that he won’t be the last either, because someone with that level of training can easily control the average person. Colares explained the sequence of events that led up to him catching the alleged thief:

“Returning from training this afternoon, we came across an alleged assault on a woman on the beach at Recreio dos Bandeirantes. I returned back to my car, and went to the girl to find out the situation, and in fact it was a robbery.”

Colares’ first martial arts experience came at the age of 7 when he took up Judo, and he found BJJ, Muay Thai, and Taekwondo when he was 15. Naturally, this amount of training in combat sports puts him right at the top of the population in terms of experience and the thief was no match for him:

“Seeing that he was unarmed, we intervened and managed to immobilize the perpetrator just using the Jiu-Jitsu techniques. We managed to capture the criminal, we recovered the victim’s cell phone, and today we have one less robber on the streets.”

Although Felipe Colares managed to use his BJJ and Judo experience to restrain the suspect with relative ease, he still warned against untrained people intervening in dangerous situations:

“I don’t recommend that unprepared people take this action, but today I became 1% better.”

The footage of UFC veteran Felipe Colares apprehending and restraining a thief using his BJJ skills was uploaded to the fighter’s official Instagram account:
