Sideline Chatter: That's a fighter in desperate need of a nickname

Dumb-de-dumb-dumb.

A would-be robber in Rio de Janeiro picked the wrong "victim" _ MMA fighter Polyana Viana _ and by the time she got finished with him and police mercifully arrived, his face looked like a prime candidate for a Hamburger Helper endorsement.

"I threw two punches and a kick," she told MMAJunkie. "He fell, then I caught him in a rear-naked choke. Then I sat him down in the same place we were before."

Viana, 26, has a 1-1 career record in fights. Correction: Make that 2-1.
