Retired MMA fighter Guy Mezger was slashed by a knife after intervening when he saw a man roughing up his girlfriend outside a Dallas sports store in 2011. Mezger stepped in between the couple and attempted to talk it out with the angry boyfriend. After Mezger warned that the cops had been called, the man charged at him.

“It’s funny because he didn’t know how to fight… I just kind of grabbed him and held onto him with an overhook on the right side and he was trying to hit me with his left,” the former fighter told radio show Carson’s Corner.
