Ex-UFC fighter James McSweeney disarms Robber.

"Ultimate Fighter 10" contestant James McSweeney,ex-UFC fighter and Muay Thai expert, witnessed a robbery at a Las Vegas convenience store and decided that it was time to step in. So, naturally, he disarmed the knife-wielding man and held him down until police arrived.
Here’s what he had to say:

“‘So they wanted to get some souvenirs so they went into one of the stores there, and as they walked I saw these two guys that looked like they were drunk, but they wasn’t really, they were just arguing,’ McSweeney explained to MMA Weekly. ‘So the cashier went over to stop them from arguing cause the store was packed full of women and children, people there shopping.

‘As they started to break it up one of the guys made a dash for the cash, the box behind the counter, and grabbed a handful of cash out and then pulled a knife out on the lady in front of everybody.’
The argument was just part of the robbers’ distraction. The man pulled out a 3″ or 4″ knife, says McSweeney, who sprang into action.

‘I didn’t want anyone to get hurt, so I just went over and grabbed from the side by his shoulder and his lapel and took the knife from him and swept him to the floor and pinned him to the ground until security came and handcuffed him and took him off,’ said McSweeney.
‘No one got hurt, that was the main thing.’
