It seems that our media crews are becoming more knowledgable these days about our martial art.

A store owner in Orlando, Florida was giving a video interview about the recent shoplifters at his store when mid-interview he spots one of the suspects and runs to catch him while leaving. The store owner grabbed onto the suspect, who was previously seen on tape stuffing a whole carton of eggs into his pants, and threw him to the floor, holding the seatbelt position and even sinking the hooks.

Initially referred to as a “full nelson” by the CNN correspondents, a reporter corrects himself after seeing the footage and attributes the moves to Jiu-Jitsu. He credits Jiu-Jitsu as he mentions how the store owner “put his legs around him.”

This position earned the store owner four points within an IBJJF competition as well as the pleasure of being reimbursed for his stolen goods and sending a thief to jail.

Silva, one of the division’s brightest young stars, was last in the octagon at UFC 153 in Brazil against top-ranked welterweight Jon Fitch. Silva lost the bout by unanimous decision, but the match-up proved to be one of more exciting of the card, earning “Fight of the Night” honors as a result.

Hieron is making his second run in the UFC with a career spanning close to 10 years.
