While street fights are never condoned, picking a fight with a professional mixed martial arts is definitely a bad idea. Luckily, Tom DeBlass was able to defuse the situation before his would be attacker was harmed.
Former UFC competitor Tom DeBlass came across a drunken man in the parking lot of a Walmart.
The drunken individual was attempting to start a fight with another man, before DeBlass made his presence known. The man tore off his shirt in a display of intent. But, DeBlass was able to talk the man down and end the night without incident.
DeBlass posted the odd scenario to Facebook, noting:
“So this just happened at Walmart. This guy was trying to fight a guy and I broke it up. He then took off his shirt and got aggressive with me. Some may think he picked the worst guy to pick a fight with but in fact I was the best person, because hurting him was my last resort. As a Jiu-Jitsu Professor my job is always try and talk someone down, I’m so thankful I didn’t have to hurt him. I only got close to him once I knew I could control his hands. He had to much to drink.”
