Yesterday in Largo, Florida, bank-robber Michael Jon Neubecker handed a note to the clerk at Grow Financial and took off with an undisclosed amount of cash.

Immediately after leaving the, local MMA fighter Eric Haritakis—who figured the robber would have already brandished a weapon if he had one—took off after him.

Haritakis recalled the action to reporters, in the kind of nonchalant way he probably describes what he did during training the night before to his girlfriend,

"Basically kicked his foot, shot in and grabbed him. I asked the UPS people if they had any zip-ties. They didn't have any zip-ties but the place next door had duct tape...I just timed it right and took him down."

County Sheriff Bob Gualtieri made sure to remind everyone that “MMA doesn’t stop a bullet,” and that Eric should be more careful. He’s right, but let’s not forget it only took ONE person to apprehend the perpetrator, and he didn’t even have to use a choke.

Cheers, Eric!
