Famoso pelos golpes que levou no saco e por sua sunguinha vermelha, o ex-lutador do UFC Joe Son saiu das páginas bizarras da história do vale-tudo para a cadeia. Na última sexta-feira, Son pegou prisão perpétua por um crime cometido em 1990. O DNA de Son, colhido na cena do crime, foi o que o incriminou, segundo um promotor de Orange County, Califórnia.

O crime ocorreu no dia 24 de dezembro de 1990. Segundo o tribunal na Califórnia, uma mulher foi sequestrada e violentada por Joe Son e Santiago Lopez Gaitan enquanto passeava com seu cão em Huntington Beach. O tribunal não teve dúvidas e deu a sentença nessa sexta-feira, 21 anos depois do ocorrido.

Son fez quatro lutas de MMA, enter elas a bizarra troca de socos com Keith Hackney. Ele apareceu em sete filmes nos anos 1990, inclusive sucessos como “Austin Powers”.
