UFC welterweight Alex Oliveira suffered a bizarre injury on Christmas eve in Brazil.

Born and raised in Tres Rios, a small town located 80 miles from Rio de Janeiro, the fighter known as “Cowboy” went to buy gasoline for his mother’s car Monday night when he saw members of his family involved in an altercation. Oliveira stopped his car, and moments later a grenade was thrown at his direction.

MMA Fighting confirmed the news after the UFC fighter himself explained the situation to local outlet TV Rio Sul.
