Mikey Burnett, a retired UFC fighter and a member of the famed Lion’s Den, is recovering from surgery after he and his son were shot during an alleged attempted robbery outside a gym on Monday night in Tulsa, Okla.

Police interviewed three suspects – two males and one underage female – in connection with the incident, but so far no arrests have been made, Tulsa police spokesperson Jeanne MacKenzie today told MMAjunkie. Tulsa TV station News on 6 first reported the shooting.

Burnett’s brother, Scott Burnett, today wrote on Facebook that the former fighter and his son, Freddie Burnett, were getting in their car when the attempted robbery took place. A struggle ensued, which led to shots being fired, he wrote:

My brother Mikey and his son were shot tonight coming out of 10 Gym at 31 and Garnett. Mikey in the stomach and groin… Posted by Scott Burnett on Monday, February 29, 2016

The brother said Mikey Burnett was shot four times in the groin and abdomen, severing his femoral artery and femoral vein, while Freddie Burnett was shot in the leg while trying to protect his father.

“Really Freddie probably saved Mikey’s life jumping on the shooter after he opened fire on his dad,” Scott Burnett wrote.

According to News on 6, the suspects fled in a car after the gunfire.

MacKenzie said police will review surveillance video of the parking lot of the 10 Gym and RibCrib restaurant, where the incident allegedly took place.

Zane Heflin, a family friend, today posted on Facebook that Mikey Burnett is “in a lot of pain” after surgery but “in stable condition”:

Update on Mikey. I got to spend a little time with him this morning. He is in a lot of pain but in stable condition…. Posted by Zane Heflin on Tuesday, March 1, 2016

“The (doctors) are going to keep him in ICU another day or so,” he wrote. “He was groggy from all the pain meds but still joked around with me and was the Mikey we all know and love. I did not get to see Freddie but was told he is doing well.”

Heflin also posted a link to a GoFundMe account to assist the Burnett family with any needs they may have.

“I know this is a very emotional time for all of them and they need all the well wishes, thoughts, prayers and blessings they can get,” he wrote.

Burnett (5-2), a Tulsa resident, retired from active competition in 1999 following a unanimous-decision win over Townsend Saunders at UFC 18. He briefly attempted a comeback in 2006 with his appearance on “The Ultimate Fighter 4,” a season comprised of MMA veterans whose careers had stalled.

In 2008, he sued the show’s production company and health insurance provider for failing to protect fighters from injury, noting a career-ending spinal injury he suffered on the show.

Guy Metzger, Burnett’s Lion’s Den teammate, wrote in a text message, “He will pull through.”
