After thieves strike, community rallies together to help UFC fighter on Christmas

Hawaii UFC fighter Yancy Medeiros is thanking the police and public this Christmas.

His SUV was stolen Christmas Eve from the Kapolei area.

So he asked his Facebook and Instagram followers for help and information.

He had a lot of leads, but after several hours – still nothing.

Then around 4 p.m. he posted an update on Instagram saying he found his car.

He said he was heading down Farrington Highway and spotted his SUV.

Medeiros said it was being driven by two juveniles.

“I follow them down Farrington Highway across Longs I make these kids pull over, pretty much run them off the road and made them get out of the car,” said Medeiros. “Make the authorities get it. Got my car, so thank you, Hawaii! Merry Christmas!”

Yancy is currently training for his next UFC fight which is happening next month in Brooklyn, New York.
