On top of UFC 138 last week in the UK, a BJJ tournament was going on in LA. For 2 fighters, their memories of this weekend will be much more than a mere grappling tournament. Brent Alvarez and Billy Denney walked out of their hotel elevator to find a robbery in progress:
Major props to these guys.
That’s certifiable badassery right there. To instantly react as you are coming out of the elevator and not knowing if the perp was armed…
BJJ: for more than just mats and cages
Now that is the real deal! This sounds like a lot more was on the line compared to the big fuss about Jon Jones and Greg Jackson chasing a robber down earlier this year. Major props to them indeed.
