UFC lightweight, Jared Gordon, recently used his mixed martial arts skills to handle a real-life situation and save his family in the process.

It is not exactly known what started it all. But in a video uploaded by the UFC lightweight fighter on his official Instagram account, he and his family member can be seen pinning a man on the ground.

“Here’s me subduing a guy with a bat after he tried to attack my family and I with it. I don’t know how I restrained myself from beating his face in. My mother then went Karen and wanted to call the cops,” Gordon wrote in the caption. 

The funny part of the video was that the attacker asked for his baseball bat back. To which Gordon replied, “go get a new one.” Many fans and even fellow UFC fighters lauded his actions in the comments section.
