"Hey, that guy left his car running in this gas station parking lot," said the thief. "I think I'll just go ahead and steal it."

"Oh wow, there's a guy out there trying to steal my car that I left running while I ran inside this gas station to grab something to drink," said UFC fighter Jordan Williams. "I think I'll go put him in a Muay Thai clinch and knee his brain into outer space."

That's basically the gist of it:

The dude actually got in the car and had the vehicle in motion before Williams pulled him out and pummeled him.

Williams pulled him from the car, all while hitting him with punches and kicks. The would-be car thief eventually ran off.

"I opened the door and, it's funny, the first thing I did was throw the stuff I bought on the passenger seat," Williams said. "And then I proceeded to punch the guy. After the first punch he said, 'OK, I'm sorry, I'm sorry.' I was able to get some knees on him, as he was exiting out."

Here's the video [language warning]:

Williams landed a couple good punches and a couple good knees. If you think that was weak you do NOT follow MMA. The bad guy must have a head like a cinder block. Dude is LUCKY he was able to escape with his body and consciousness intact.
