Local hero emerges amidst chaos: Dana White applauds act of bravery

Taking to his Instagram handle, Dana White shared a snippet from one of the many surfacing clips of the infamous brawl. In this video, a kid in a black and white hoodie is spotted running away from a crowd of people. As he was running, he was grabbed from behind by a couple of teenagers and brought to the ground. The boy was then ruthlessly stomped on by the horde of people following him, – until one ‘savior’ appears.

A bystander, dressed in a blue shirt, rushed over to the scene and immediately put himself right in the middle of the action. He pushed the crowd of people away from the injured kid and made sure that no further violence followed. Likewise, this heartfelt gesture from the bystander has now landed him in a heap of praise, especially from the UFC top gun. At first, the UFC head honcho had no clue about the identity of this ‘savior.’ However, he later revealed the real name of this ‘superhero’ as Maurice Hardy.
