Undefeated MMA fighter Dustin Lampoulos has made his name in the cage, but he is also fighting to drive child predators out of the streets – and while he is trying to make it happen, he is telling TMZ Sports the wildest interaction he has had.
He caught up with Lampoulos, 9-0, ahead of the Shamrock FC title fight on March 22nd…and revealed how he began a meaningful side gig with his friends two years ago to make a difference in his hometown.
“When he exposed it to me and took it into that world, I immediately felt the motivation to do something,” he said. “I looked at him right away and said, ‘Let’s do it, let’s help here in our community.” ”
“In the beginning it was like, ‘Let’s see what we can do.’ Then it started snowballing. ”
As for the total capture… he thinks they are around the 50 mark. The 30-year-old has never been physical to anyone, but he has pulled some weapons on him.
“The child pulled out a small box of cutter knife. He was holding it in his hand and didn’t notice it until about 20-30 seconds later,” Lampos said.
Waiting for permission to load Instagram media.
“I made sure the guy wouldn’t talk to me, he just went back to his car and he said, ‘You better not chase me in my car,'” he said. “I was going to grab something, but he grabbed the handgun.”
Luckily, nothing happened about those encounters… But Lampos said when they put themselves in these situations they take all precautions.
