Man attempts to rob MMA champ, gets two black eyes

Anthony Miranda had approached a parked vehicle near 55th Street and Kenneth Avenue in Chicago Friday night and asked the driver for a lighter before pointing a handgun at the man and demanding money.

After the driver handed over some cash, Miranda reportedly ordered him out of the car.

Huge mistake.

At some point, Miranda’s attention was diverted and the victim was able to grab control of the gun and the two wrestled.

During the fight, Miranda accidentally discharged his gun, shooting himself in the ankle.

The victim was then able to pin down Miranda until police arrived.

Miranda was taken to Holy Cross Hospital with a "face full of lacerations," two black eyes and a gunshot wound.

Miranda, 24, was also charged with armed robbery and aggravated discharge of a firearm.
