You may have noticed a rise in stories in the news containing MMA fighters or MMA fans who thwart would be criminals. The most memorable may be Jon Jones and Greg Jackson stopping a mugger a mere hours before Jones was set to fight. Then most recently there was a Mugger in New York who picked on the wrong man and ended up with black eyes and a gunshot wound to the ankle. Today a new story has broken and it hits me a little close to home.

I received an email today from an old friend in my hometown. The email contained a number of news stories over the past year that demonstrated MMA fighters and fans stopping crimes. He ended the correspondance with a video from our local news station. It appears that the MMA fan vs robber trend has hit the Carolinas ( Where I am originally from ) so I thought I would share this with you.
