Morning Report: Matt Serra details how he gave ‘drunk’ a ‘free jiu-jitsu lesson’ night before Hall of Fame induction

Last week, Matt Serra made headlines for more than just his induction into the UFC Hall of Fame. The night before the ceremony, Serra got into an altercation with a drunk man in a Las Vegas restaurant, harmlessly subduing the man before security intervened.

How do you spend the night before your @ufc HOF induction?!? You subdue some asshole drunk that was threatening waiters then tries to swing on you. #jiujitsu

Yesterday on the UFC Unfiltered podcast, Serra discussed how the situation came to be, explaining that he and his family were attempting to leave the restaurant when the man confronted him, threatening to fight the former UFC welterweight champion.
