Look at this guy throwing up his guard.

S1

Speaker 1

01:35

And right now he's, see what happened was, I'm with my wife and my kids, it's July 4th, cause the next day I was going into the Hall of Fame. So, and this fat fuck, oh you're just subduing him? All right, get off him.

S1

Speaker 1

01:48

Yeah, dude, are you gonna fucking control him? Because he's gonna, at that point, nothing happened. I was waiting for this guy to grab my balls or something when this, you know what I mean? Yeah.

S1

Speaker 1

01:56

Because there's gonna be a lapse between me not controlling him and him not getting involved. But the thing was, we were, The next day I was going into the... Does he

S2

Speaker 2

02:07

try to swing at you when he gets up?

S1

Speaker 1

02:08

No, now he's saying he wants to press charges. So, what happened was... He's gonna charge you with embarrassing him.

S1

Speaker 1

02:17

It was the day before I was going to go into the Hall of Fame, and my wife's like, oh, we had family there in Vegas before me getting inducted in. So she goes, oh, you want to go down to the Strip to see the fireworks? And I'm like, listen, man, there's a lot of drunks. I don't wanna, let's just keep it low key and then we'll celebrate tomorrow.

S1

Speaker 1

02:37

So sure enough, we're at the Red Rock Casino, which is so cool, I love that place. Great place. There's a bowling alley in there, there's a movie theater, you know I love the movies. And so me and my wife, my kids, and my sister and her kid were there.

S1

Speaker 1

02:50

So we're at the cafe and then you see them 2 walk in, the guy and his girlfriend, they were really hammered. They left, he left her there, she slumped in the thing, like passed out, then he came back and he came back really hostile And he was like throwing shit at the fucking the waiters and and I go to my wife I go we gotta get we gotta get the fuck out of here I go because I just know it's gonna get if something goes near Mike gets thrown in our direction I just know I just know it's I gotta get out of there cuz it's not good Sure enough my waiter was bringing me my check, and the guy got up. He got up like this. So, just instinctively, I got up.

S1

Speaker 1

03:29

And then he turned right to me. And this is what I tell my students, because I don't look like a pussy. I don't look like John Rallo, right? I don't look like, John Rallo gets up, this is not, but so I don't look like a pussy.

S1

Speaker 1

03:42

The guy looked at me, he goes, you got a fucking problem? And so I'm already angled. I'm not gonna be on WorldStarHipHop. I'm already angled.

S1

Speaker 1

03:51

So then he fucking takes that fucking shirt off and nothing's gonna get better after that. So I stepped in, round the waist, put him down. The whole place is clapping at that point. And I tell my sister, I go, Sammy, film this, because I know what's going to happen.

S1

Speaker 1

04:06

I know he's going to say, UFC guy's beating him up. So that's her, my sister filmed that. She's also the 1 with the big mouth. Yeah, that's right, that's not my wife, my wife's quiet.

S1

Speaker 1

04:18

So then, you know, I gave him a little lesson and then security ended up coming. And at 1 point, you know, I'm telling him to calm down and I look up and I see my 9, my Maria, my middle child. At the time She was like 9. And so she's looking up like a little terrified, kinda.

S1

Speaker 1

04:36

So at 1 point I look up at her with the same tone. I'm like, oh no, it's okay. It sounds like I'm talking to him. So it sounds like I'm talking to him, but I was talking to my kid.

S1

Speaker 1

04:46

But afterwards with that, I sent a video to Dana, and I go, hey, tell Lorenzo to get better security in his motherfucker. You know what I mean? So that's when he put it out there, and he went to TMZ. But I tell the students to look at that, the guys that are coming in, if they're unsure of jiu-jitsu for them, I go, look, first of all, it's nothing to brag about.

S1

Speaker 1

05:04

You all know this, it's a drunk white belt. It's not like I'm fucking, hey, look what I did, everybody. You know, I fought some guys that did something. But to the untrained eye, it's kind of cool.

S1

Speaker 1

05:13

You know, it's like, jiu-jitsu is like a superpower. Power.
