MMA Fighter Gets Stabbed, Claims To Have Won An Eight On One Knife Fight And I'm Calling Bullshit
Source - A group of eight knife-wielding thugs was forced to flee when they unknowingly attempted to rob a martial arts instructor.
Louis Nicholson, 22, was alone walking down a street in Grays, England, at 4 p.m. on Oct. 16 when a gang of thugs approached him demanding his phone.
But Nicholson, who is trained in mixed martial arts and coaches sessions, refused to hand anything over.
Nicholson claims the gang started to attack him but as he managed to fight them off they pulled out knives and stabbed him multiple times. Nicholson was stabbed under the armpit and received a large gash to his arm, which he has received stitches for.
I’ll be the first to say that I’m notoriously bad at telling the difference between real stories and fake stories. I once wrote an entire blog on a man who was selling jarred farts and when I gave it to Keith he thought it was a joke. When I read it back I realized how stupid it was of me to believe it in the first place. The same thing happened when I read this article. Do I believe that Louis got stabbed? Absolutely- there are pictures to prove it.
Do I believe that there were eight people and it went down the way he described it? No way. His account of what happened is essentially a Liam Neeson movie script.
“I was doing my best to keep them at bay, I even managed to punch two of them in the face, so they dropped to the floor. Only after they had already attacked me though of course. Anyway, at this point, the absolute cowards decide eight versus one isn’t a big enough advantage for them.
“So they pull out their blades and start stabbing and slashing at me while I’m trying to fight off the others.”
Nicholson claims the fight lasted for two minutes as he tried to move the fight closer to a site where more members of the public were.
“I had to fight them all the way down the road about [300 feet] to get to the Metalworks. I got away with all of my stuff,” Nicholson said. “I was fighting them and they had me circled then one of them broke the circle like a coward when I went to swing for him so I ran out of that gap he created.
“I ran in a construction site that was open at the time and shouted for the guys to call the police. And the funny thing, this all happened at four o’clock in the afternoon in broad daylight.”
Quick recap: Louis was walking down the street and got surrounded by eight knife-wielding dudes who attacked him one at a time. He then systematically dismantled each of them, while simultaneously directing the fight towards an open construction sight where he was able to call for safety. And this all happened in broad daylight?

First of all, if you get robbed by eight people you aren’t cocky about it, you’re traumatized. Second of all, if eight people with knives decide they want to rob one guy without a knife, they do it. Especially if the person they’re robbing looks like Kid Super on a diet. And how did they not find the suspects? There were eight of them. He’s just too casual about the whole thing. He also basically plugs his gym at the end of the interview which seems bizarre.
“I have to say though, with zero shadow of a doubt, martial arts saved my life. I would not be here if not for being able to create space and get out of there. So honestly, get your kids trained in martial arts, I cannot stress it enough, it is literally a matter of life and death — stay safe, everyone.”
I wish Louis a speedy recovery, but this is fake news. If on the off chance I’m wrong, I take it all back and offer my sincerest condolences to Mr Nicholson (please don’t hurt me), but I don’t think I am.
