On Tuesday evening Louis Nicholson, 22, was walking alone through the town of Grays in Essex, England. During his stroll he was allegedly approached by eight men who stopped him and asked for his cell phone.
Nicholson, who is an amateur MMA fighter and a coach at TSG MMA Fight School in Corringham, refused to hand over the device.
According to The Sun the gang then attacked Nicholson. However, despite their superior numbers, Nicholson was able to keep his attackers at bay. The fighter and coach said he was even able to land some punches that dropped a few of his foes.
