The former Sengoku featherweight champion is facing multiple charges within relationship to two separate incidents involving Sandro’s fiance. The incidents occurred on December 14 and February 9.
As reported by MMA Fighting, Sandro has been accused of assaulting his fiance, Tayssa Wuensche, in the middle of the street in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil on Dec. 14. The fighter allegedly choked the woman, before kicking and punching her as she came back into consciousness.
In a second case, Tayssa Wuensche claimed that on Feb. 9 a threat was made on her life by Marlon Sandro. Sandro allegedly broke into Wuensche’s home while intoxicated and threatened her with a knife.
