Around 11:30 p.m. on Monday, the 29-year-old welterweight was at Ra Sushi in Houston’s Highland Village… when witnesses say someone entered the restaurant and shot a gun into the air.
While the majority of those present ducked for cover, three customers, including Holland, rushed to stop the alleged gunman.
Patrick Robinson, one of the heroes, spoke with ABC 13 about the heroic effort, saying, “We were eating and the next thing you know, a gunshot just popped off. So everything paused and then everybody started running to get down under a table.”
“We got him down, apprehended him, got the gun away from him and the bag that he had.”
By the time police arrived, the 24-year-old suspect had been pacified and his weapon had been taken away!!
According to the outlet, the suspect is now facing charges of possessing a stolen firearm and discharging a firearm.
Keep in mind that this isn’t even the first time Holland has put his MMA skills to use outside of the Octagon.
Just days after competing in UFC Fight Night, he stopped a carjacker last year!
