I mean, you could end a situation just as easy, but that fucking idiot when I was in Vegas, easy right hand at his fucking chin.

I was looking at him like the RoboCop where I saw the chin right there.

But then he's taking his shirt off, I'm just like, ah, you little fucker.

I hit him, his head hits the floor, I'm fucked.

At 1 point, I was actually- Great commercial for jujitsu.

I use that all the time as a fucking, I'm no salesman, but I tell people, and I mean it though, I really do mean it.

I don't point to any of my fights with the guys I fought.

I tell people to look up that, and it's not for bragging rights.

It's like I'm fighting my evil spunk off.

you're holding his wrist, it's like you're doing a seminar.

But you know what I really like though about Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is, well this is how it started though.

Cause they came in like weekend at Bernie's.

So he's putting glasses on her and shit, so at first it was kind of funny.

I'm like, look at this, look at this, she's done.

This is at the Red Rock Casino, where the Fatina brothers own this.

And this is the weekend that you got inducted to the Hall of Fame, right?

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?

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?

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...

No, now he's saying he wants to press charges.

He's gonna charge you with embarrassing him.

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.

So sure enough, we're at the Red Rock Casino, which is so cool, I love that 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.

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.

And this is what I tell my students, because I don't look like a pussy.

I don't look like, John Rallo gets up, this is not, but so I don't look like a pussy.

The guy looked at me, he goes, you got a fucking problem?

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.

I know he's going to say, UFC guy's beating him up.

Yeah, that's right, that's not my wife, my wife's quiet.

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.

And so she's looking up like a little terrified, kinda.

So at 1 point I look up at her with the same tone.

So it sounds like I'm talking to him, but I was talking to my kid.

But afterwards with that, I sent a video to Dana, and I go, hey, tell Lorenzo to get better security in his motherfucker.

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.

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.

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