MMA Fighters Save Hotel From Robbery

There was a MMA fight in town last week and two of the fighters from that tournament showed the world that martial arts training can be used for way more than just trying to make a few bucks and landing a porn star wife.


A man walked into a Comfort Inn hotel lobby and was clearly unimpressed with selection of towels and amenities he had been provided in his room. So, he pulled out a gun and attempted to rob the front desk clerk. At that point, the two fighters walked in, saw what happened and disarmed the guy with some moves and held him down until the police arrived. The suspect, if convicted faces 2 or 3 hours in jail.

I'm surprised the MMA fighters weren't arrested for assault.

LOL Talk about bad timing! I hope they hurt him. Having a gun should keep him locked up for a while.

Beautiful!

Finally, decent and civilized people helping out a fellow human being in need, instead of just standing there, getting their iPhones out, and filming the whole thing to be posted later on YT.

They deserve to be rightly recognized. My hat off to you gents.

I read one of them commented later that he didn't know why they didn't mess him up - they just kept him down, not punched him or anything. My first reaction to a man with a gun would be to render him unconscious and get the gun away. That'd actually be my second reaction, my first would be "ohmygod ohmygod he's got a gun ohmygod".

I'm proud of them and I have no idea who they are.

Thank you Rita!

Why would they be charged for assaulting an armed criminal? What they did was commendable.

And if they're staying at a Comfort Inn on Vermont, they're a few years away from making real money and attracting the porn star wife that comes with it.

Good for them. I'm just glad no one was hurt.
