There is a common misconception that the average person holds, that in a given circumstance, they would possess the weapons in their arsenal to outsmart and best a martial artist at an elite level.
The skillset and technique that martial artists owns, are developed over years, of dedication, commitment, and hard work. To refute that just because you have watched a few fights, and claim you could dismantle them with ease, is imprudent and ill-judged.
A number of instances in the martial arts landscape pertain to this fact. The likes of Kevin Holland, Donald Cerrone, Jacare Souza, so and so forth are accurate examples of these instances. The list is long.

This is another example of why the average individual should stick to whatever it is they are proficient at, and not unwisely challenge a professional athlete. If not, they’ll get lit up like fireworks.

Langley would land a couple of vicious punches on the airline employee, that left him bloody and concussed, unable to stand on his own two feet. Although the fiasco went viral and initially led to Langley’s arrest, the assault case was eventually dismissed.

The internet, being the internet, has reacted in a hysterical manner to the confrontation. Some of the best comments on the subject include comments from various MMA stars and fans.
This should be a fair warning to anybody, not to pick fights, unless you’re absolutely confident in your prowess, ability, and skill. If not, do the smart thing, and de-escalate the situation, and remain cordial with the individuals involved.
