Dan Hooker VS Cocky Fans

There was the Israelis Kapuli this year.
00:00:02
>> One guy just pulls up and goes, "Yo,
00:00:03
Izzy, let's go. One out." And I remember
00:00:05
just looking like, "What the fuck?" And
00:00:06
he's like, "Yeah, talk to me nicely,
00:00:07
bitch." Got to the point I spat at him.
00:00:09
He just looked down and kept on talking.
00:00:10
And I realized, you're not about this
00:00:12
life.
00:00:12
>> Izzy's response was great. He said to
00:00:13
the guy something like, "I get paid
00:00:15
millions for this. I'm not going to
00:00:16
whoop your ass for free." Do you ever
00:00:17
get people trying to pick a fight with
00:00:18
you?
00:00:18
>> Me, not so much, because there's a whole
00:00:20
lot of evidence, I will kick the [ __ ]
00:00:22
out of you. My thing is, if I can
00:00:24
justify it by law, I'm taking you out of
00:00:26
the game. To me, that guy was being
00:00:28
incredibly threatening, like an attack
00:00:30
was imminent and I would have to be
00:00:32
forced to protect myself. Also, someone
00:00:34
put his hand in his pocket. He told me
00:00:35
he was going for a knife and he was
00:00:37
going to kill me. If I can justify it by
00:00:38
law, you are [ __ ]
