One of my good buddies was Marine Recon, Power5 Linebacker and personal security for huge rockstars (Eddie Vedder, Jimmy Paige, Marilyn Manson, Chris Cornell, Gwen Stephanie, Selena Gomez.....). Lets just say he is a big bad dude. We were at a bar in Lodo in Denver and some random guy sucker punches him, for absolutely no reason. He just turns and looks at this guy like WTF? Guy wanted to square up with him. We had no idea who he was or why he wanted to fight. Security arrived quickly, kicking them both out. Even though my boy stayed calm and all he is guilty of is some random guy walking up and sucker punching him. The other guy goes out in the street chirping calling him a pussy and challenging him to a fight outside. My boy is 6-3 250 and looks like The Rock. The other douche was maybe 6-1 190. Starts jawing at my boy and gets in his face taking a swing and my buddy just punks him. Ducks the punch and puts him in a choke hold unconscious on the ground in seconds. Stands over his unconscious body and yells out that he's lucky that he doesn't get his head stomped in. Well the guy wakes up and starts chirping at my buddy again calling him a pussy saying he wants to kick his ass. His buddies who were egging him on before grabbed him and informed him he had been choked the fuck out and was lucky to not be in the hospital. The guy was arguing with them that he hadn't been choked out.
We had another late night incident in Lodo. 5 of us out partying and a Cab pulls over as we are starting to get in when this little mighty mite comes up and starts yelling at us. Dude was like 5-7 160 lbs. Gets in our face saying that is his cab. We could care less as we'll get another one. Well he had 4 other guys with him and they acted like they wanted to throw down. Besides the Mighty Mite the other guys were all pretty good sized, at least 210+. They picked the wrong group of guys to fuck with. My body guard buddy is big but the others aren't quite as physically intimidating, but can really fight. He looked at me and my brother, who is 6-5, and said run grab a cab as we got this and we might need a get away vehicle. The other 5 guys freaked out when they heard this and all of the sudden didn't want to fight. Amazing how 3 confident guys telling 5 that it is Go Time really got in their heads.
I have so many crazy fight stories. Ranging from 60 man brawls to one of my security guys challenging 2 douches who were bullying a guy to a fight. Seen far too much, and never underestimate your opponent. One of the toughest guys I worked with taught Hand to Hand Combat to Special Forces. Was a crazy ass 6-5 270 lb Indian, feather not dot, and he got his ass knocked out by some 5-9 160 lb kid who caught him with a big roundhouse kick. Down goes Frazier. You never know who is a boxer, wrestler or martial artist. We always trained security staff's to watch out for the calm guy in the fight as he either really knows what he is doing or doesn't give a shit.
