He has taken to a whole new level when he instigated a brawl during last night’s final match of the star studded event BJJ Stars in Brazil.
Felipe Pena and Erberth Santos faced each other in the final match of the evening. Pena pulled guard and then swept Santos who then appeared to injure his knee. Santos then sat on the side of the mat and was seen arguing with some of Pena’s teammates. As they restarted the match with Santos on bottom, Santos kept arguing with someone in the crowd. This is when Santos ran towards Pena’s team and ‘did a Khabib’ and instigated massive brawl.
