MMA Fighter Takes Out 2 Street Punks While Receiving ‘My Dad’s a Bodybuilder’ Warnings; Receives Praise From UFC London Star Paddy Pimblett

Sometimes MMA fighters, too, get into a tough situation outside the cage. However, they have skills to bank on. One such fighter is Kevin Holland, who has been in some confrontational situations outside the Octagon but handled them well. Recently MMA fighter Viktor Lyall got tangled in a tough situation and handled it effectively. Hence, UFC lightweight Paddy Pimblett praised him.

As per reports, the Australian fighter saw two guys roughing up a man and hence, tried to ease the situation. However, they proceeded to chase Lyall and harassed him. A woman was also seen with the two men who claimed her father was a bodybuilder. So the fighter seemed to have no other option but to confront them.

Lyall has been associated with Gamebred academy.

The whole incident was recorded where the fighter was seen landing a few shots at the men. UFC’s rising lightweight prospect Paddy Pimblett wrote, “What a guy stood his ground and defended himself, be proud of yourself brother.”

Former UFC fighter Bec Rodriguez had shared the video of the altercation on her Instagram.
