In the Netherlands, three unlucky burglars got the shock of their lives when their break-in attempt was foiled by none other than former MMA star Melvin Manhoef. The incident quickly became the stuff of legend after Manhoef personally chased them down and delivered justice in the most unexpected way. Here are some fascinating facts about the dramatic encounter:
1. They Picked the Wrong House
The burglars probably thought it was just another easy target. What they didn’t know was that the home belonged to Melvin “No Mercy” Manhoef, a world-renowned kickboxer and MMA fighter with decades of professional fighting experience.
2. Manhoef Literally Punched Through Their Car Window
When the burglars attempted to escape in their vehicle, Manhoef didn’t just block their way — he punched straight through the car window with his bare hands to stop them. Talk about real-life action movie energy.
3. He Dragged Them Out One by One
Not content with smashing the window, Manhoef reportedly pulled the suspects out of the car himself. The same strength that once floored professional fighters in the ring was now used against street criminals.
4. He Made a Citizen’s Arrest
Instead of leaving it at a chase, Manhoef took matters into his own hands by performing a citizen’s arrest. He restrained the burglars until police arrived to take them into custody.
5. Fans Say It’s the Most “Melvin Manhoef Thing” Ever
Online reactions were filled with admiration and amusement. Many fans joked that breaking into Manhoef’s house is “the unluckiest heist in history,” while others hailed him as a real-life superhero.
