UFC women's strawweight champion Jessica Andrade and wife Fernanda Gomes reportedly were robbed at gunpoint in Brazil on Thursday.

Gomes posted about the robbery on social media Thursday, per Guilherme Cruz of MMA Fighting. Andrade's coach Gilliard Parana said both were unharmed.

According to Gomes, Andrade was driving when they were forced to stop their car, which was stolen along with their cell phones.

Andrade won the women's strawweight championship from Rose Namajunas at UFC 237 in Brazil. She has won each of her last four bouts.

UFC has not said when she will defend the title for the first time. She has been awarded Fight of the Night and Performance of the Night three times, earning both honors for her win over Namajunas.
