UFC veteran Kevin Holland helps subdue gunman at Houston restaurant

UFC welterweight Kevin Holland played the role of hero and possible life-saver on Monday night.

Less than two weeks after his win over Alex Oliveira at UFC 272, Holland and his friend Patrick Robinson helped take down a gunman who fired a shot at the RA Sushi restaurant in the Highland Village neighborhood in Houston, TX.

Local ABC affiliate KTRK has the details on this dramatic scene:

It happened around 11:30 p.m. when police say a panic alarm went off at the restaurant and they also received witness calls for a shooting in progress.
