MMA star Mauro Chaulet died after allegedly being shot by a member of the military police in Brazil, according to local media reports.
Chaulet, 34, is claimed to have been engaged in an altercation with a military police officer at a bar in his home city of Porto Alegre. The incident - which took place last week - escalated to violent proportions, with Radio Guaiba's website claiming that the fighter died of a gunshot wound, while a female acquaintance of Chaulet's was also shot but survived.
It's added that the shooting took place around midnight at Auma Bar, an establishment located in the Floresta neighbourhood in the northern part of Porto Alegre. Reports elsewhere claim that Chaulet's female companion was at first involved in an argument with another woman accompanying the police officer, who was off duty.
