Ana Maria Pal headbutts Andrei Ciobanu
Ana Maria Pal is a professional MMA fighter who hails from Bacau, Romania, with a record of 3-5-0. However, her records went dim after the events of Survivor Romania.
Ana Maria Pal was pitted against the fitness trainer, Lola Crudu, in the game. They were supposed to push a giant ball through various hurdles, then place seven blocks on some hanging platforms and knock those blocks down from a distance using some balls. Although she did well in pushing the giant ball, luck did not favor her in knocking the blocks. She wasn’t particularly happy about it.
Ana Maria Pal went into ‘fight mode’ as the Romanian football player and fellow contestant, Andrei Ciobanu, mocked her by saying, “It’s hard”. She faced Andrei Ciobanu with ire and gave him a headbutt he’d never forget. Ciobanu went down and stayed down with a grimace. It was later revealed that Ana Maria Pal broke Andrei Ciobanu’s nose at three different places. Her actions led to her immediate disqualification from Survivor Romania.
