In an interview with MMA Junkie Polyana Viana revealed the whole incident, “ "When he saw I saw him, he sat next to me. He asked me the time, I said it, and I saw he wasn’t going to leave. So I already moved to put my cell phone in my waist. And then he said, 'Give me the phone. Don’t try to react, because I’m armed.' Then he put his hand over a gun, but I realized it was too soft." The 'gun' turned out to be a cardboard cut-out.”

She further said, “He was really close to me. So I thought, ‘If it’s a gun, he won’t have time to draw it.’ So I stood up I threw two punches and a kick. He fell, and then I caught him in a rear-naked choke”

Viana further said she asked him to stay there till the police arrived, man was not reacting much possibly due to the impact of punches.
