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.
