It’s a good thing this<\/a> happened in Chicago, where strict \u201cgun control\u201d laws ensure convicted felons, like Anthony Miranda, don’t have access to firearms:<\/p>\n

Robbing a man who turned out to be an ultimate fighter proved to be a bad decision for a convicted felon, who is now in bad shape as he is held on bond.<\/p>\n

Police say around 11:30 p.m. Friday, Anthony Miranda, 24, walked up to a car parked at 55th Street and Kenneth Avenue, just a few blocks from Midway International Airport.<\/p>\n

Miranda asked the driver for a lighter, and the driver said he didn\u2019t have one. Then Miranda pulled a handgun and demanded that the driver hand over his money, police said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I guess no one ever told Mr. Miranda, you don’t bring a gun to a fistfight… Especially when the other guy is an experienced mixed martial arts fighter.<\/p>\n

According to media reports by the time police arrived on the scene the victim had pinned Mr. Miranda down, and well lets just say Mr. Miranda looks like he lost the fight… Badly. He was taken to Holy Cross Hospital for treatment (and hopefully career counseling).<\/p>\n
