Well that's some bad luck

Last month, these two dudes broke into a house at 4:30 in the morning, guns ablaze. The house belonged to Lloyd Irvin, who was home with his wife and young son. A friend, Brandon Vera, was also there. The burglars apparently round up the gang and held them at gunpoint, demanding cash and jewelry (note to self: if I'm ever the burglar in that situation, be damn sure to say "I'm Mike D and I get respect, your cash and your jewelry is what I expect").

One of the gunmen forced Llloyd Irvin into a bedroom where he was hoping to get the family jewelry. The thing of it is, turns out that the "friend" Brandon Vera is a UFC fighter, and Irvin is his grappling trainer. So when Irvin was taken into the bedroom by the gunmen, he decided that he could make a move without risking his family's safety, and managed to quickly disarm the gunmen:

The intruder ran off, screaming to his partner that the guy had got the gun, and his partner then also ran off.

(Second note to self: if I'm ever the burglar in that situation, do some research first and be sure the house doesn't belong to a fucking UFC trainer.)
