CHICAGO (WLS) - A convicted felon chose the wrong victim when he tried to rob an ultimate fighting champion Friday night on the Southwest Side and ended up with two black eyes and a gunshot wound to the ankle.

Police say 24-year-old Anthony Miranda walked up to a car which was parked near 55th and Kenneth about 11:30 p.m. and asked the driver for a lighter.

When the driver said he didn’t have one, Miranda allegedly pulled a handgun, pointed it at the driver and demanded money. And even after getting some money, he ordered the driver out of the car, police News Affairs Officer John Mirabelli said.

At some point, Miranda’s attention was diverted and the victim was able to grab control of the gun and the two wrestled.

During the fight, Miranda accidentally discharged his gun, shooting himself in the ankle, Mirabelli said.

The victim -- who told police he’s a martial arts expert and ultimate fighting champion -- was able to pin Miranda down until police arrived. Police arrived to find Miranda with a face full of lacerations and two black eyes. He was taken to Holy Cross Hospital for treatment, police said.

Miranda, a convicted felon, is charged with armed robbery and aggravated discharge of a firearm, a Class X felony.

He was ordered held on $350,000 bond Sunday, according to the CooK County Sheriff’s office.

Records show he has several convictions, including at least one for a residential burglary.

Reminds me of the time burgalers broke into Dolph Lundgrens house and took off leaving everything behind when they found out who it belonged to.

I saw how the mugger looked after the scuffle & he looks like a piece tenderized meat.

Funny how they don't release the name of the "victim" so we can verify if he actually is a champion.

I'll bet he'll pick up a few wrestling and jiu-jitsu classes once he gets out.

No TDD, you'll get a beatdown nowadays.

Well just Google Ultimate Fighting Champions who live in Chicago, and you'll have your answer.
