Werdum’s coach killed
Mauricio Pereira was shot twice this dawn
Mauricio Miguel Pereira, known in the Jiu-Jitsu milieu as “Mauricao from Hunter,” died early today in Rio de Janeiro. According to information provided by black-belt Marcio Corleta, Mauricao, coach to, among others, Pride fighter Fabricio Werdum, was shot twice and, despite being taken to Sao Bernardo hospital, in Barra da Tijuca, didn’t resist the bleeding.

According to Corleta, measures concerning the funeral and burial are still being taken by the family. “I still can’t say where he will be buried. I’m going to Rio to help the family at this hard time,” said a much moved Corleta, by phone , from Rio Grande do Sul.

I hope Werdum can recover from this loss in time for CC.

Any idea what provoked the shooting?

Was it a robbery or something of that nature?

[JonTheJudger]

that's bad news

RIP

I hope this does not affect werdum's performance when the 2nd round arrives. it probably will actually, coaches are key to motivation and success

Read the other thread on the subject "IF" that story is true about him breaking into his gf's house and going nuts then he deserved to get shot IMO, sorry but if the guy was trying to kick down my door I'd blast his ass too no matter who he trains. If the story isn't true then what happened was truly horrible, if the story is true then I can't fault the father at all.
