For those who think that Batman is a fictional character, you may be wrong. It’s certainly overblown with a billionaire in a Halloween costume, a giant car with a turbocharger, and a belt full of non-lethal gadgets, but a citizen with no combat superpowers. with crime, one of which exists – it’s UFC fighter Kevin Holland.
For the second time in less than six months, Holland has caught a wrongdoer. He and his friend, Patrick Robinson, were at a Ra Sushi restaurant in Houston on Monday night. A man is said to have pulled out a gun and shot into the air, causing panic in the restaurant with about 40-50 people. Robinson told ABC 13 that he and two other customers, one of whom was a friend of his, rushed the person and possibly disarmed him, and took his bag away.
Robinson did not say when interviewed who his friend accused the person of shooting him. However, Holland confirmed on his Instagram story that he and Robinson tracked down the person and held him off until the police arrived and arrested him. One of the slides was captioned, “I’m drunk and I’m doing Kung Fu.” Robinson is also a trained mixed martial artist.
Holland’s first foray into vigilism, as we know it, happened last October. He was driving near his coach’s house when he heard someone shouting that someone had stolen his car. It was early in the morning that Holland had brought his coffee, but he still thought it would be fun to chase the killer down. Netherlands told Ariel Helwani on Time MMA podcast he called his coach, who ran out to help.

The first attempt to apprehend the suspect failed, and unfortunately, he ended up hitting the car while trying to flee. That’s when he got out of the car and Holland was able to pull him down and apply Khabib Nurmagomedov’s scarf hold until the man said “I can’t breathe.” Like a decent man, he made the responsible decision – a decision you’d think would be standard among sworn law enforcement officers – to remove the prison and keep the man. stay there until the police arrive.
Holland found a lot of humor in both events, which should serve as a reminder to all of you civilians that professional athletes are better at their skills than you are at anything. . This pro boxer has had a solid professional MMA career, 22-7, and recently signed a new deal with the UFC but he’s still far from being one of the heavyweights. However, he could laugh while raving lightly about subduing someone who had just fired a gun. For those watching Holland’s next game, if he loses just know that with a little effort he can still squeeze your face until it changes color.
So please pay get a raise ticket price to see the new Batman movie if you want. But know that there is a real crime fighter who doesn’t hide behind masks and suits. He’s standing behind you dining at a sushi restaurant, laughing – probably a lot after a few cocktails. But don’t get me wrong, if you decide to act stupid at the restaurant, you’ll find yourself in a choking triangle faster than the Dutch can order a spicy tuna hand roll.
