Lloyd Irvin is the Man!!!

Grappling guru Lloyd Irvin, who is famous in the fighting world for his incredibly recovery from a horrifying spinal injury, was held up at gunpoint Saturday morning, along with his family and UFC contender Brandon Vera. Needless to say, the outcome could have been tragic. Lloyd, no stranger to adversity, had other plans for his attackers.

BloodyElbow has the story:

While one gunman held Irvin's family hostage, another gunman directed Irvin to the the master bedroom. According to Irvin, he led the gunman toward his bedroom. Once in the bedroom, Irvin said he noticed the other gunman was far enough away down the hall to make a move to disarm the attacker in his bedroom. Irvin, an expert in Sambo defensive gun and knife techniques, was able to get ahold of the gun in the attacker's hands, first separating the clip from the gun and then removing the gun from the attacker's hands.

I would have liked to hear about these piece of sh*t criminals suffering some broken bones at the hands of Irvin and Vera, but for now, let's give thanks that the good guys won, and that Lloyd's family is safe and sound.
