Video: Store Clerk Knocks Out Robber with Solid Left Hook

In case you haven’t figured it out by now, robbers getting KTFO have become one of my favorite stories here at LBS. Last month, there was a guy whose attempted motel robbery was thwarted by a couple of MMA experts. Then a few weeks ago, there was the mugger who tried to hold up a UFC fighter and ended up in the hospital with a battered face. And now we have this.

A gunman walked into a We Buy Gold store in Hendersonville, N.C. and demanded money. The store clerk, Derek Mothershead, handed him the money, and then dropped him with a monstrous left hook. Check out the video:

Hi, my name’s McLovin, I’d like to buy some … bam! That knockout punch was priceless. Maybe the clerk needs to take up a boxing career with that sort of knockout potential. His quote after the incident was priceless, too.

“If he wants money, get a job. Work like everybody else in this world,” Mothershead said. “I was scared about the gun. When I made my mind up, I said I got to hit him with everything I’ve got.”

Looks like Mothershead broke the guy’s nose. Here’s the robber, Mostafa Hendi, in his mug shot:

Bad. Freaking. Ass. That guy deserves one helluva Christmas bonus on his next paycheck.
