AN MMA fighter was killed following a violent altercation with military police in Brazil, reports claim.
Mauro Chaulet was shot in the city of Porto Alegre, according to local outlet Radio Guaiba.
The alleged incident occurred following a disagreement with a military police officer, who is claimed to have been off duty at the time.
Chaulet's companion and the military police officer are also said to have been shot in the alleged altercation.

"You were special and will never be forgotten for us!!!
"RIP @maurochaulet"
Chaulet had 13 wins and nine losses on his professional MMA record.
His last three bouts all ended in defeat, the most recent of which was in May 2022 in the Cage Fury Fighting Championships.
