On December 11th, 2011, several friends were enjoying dinner in a pizzeria, when a man approached the table, requesting a lighter. After informing him the table was comprised of non-smokers, the man became enraged, demonstrating violent behavior, and directly threatening one of the seated diners.

The man threatened was Ryan Hall, owner of Fifty/50 BJJ, and one of the most decorated lightweight grappling and BJJ competitors in the USA. The Marcelo Garcia representative is an IBJJF Mundial and No-Gi Mundial champion.

The Abu Dhabi World Pro Jiu-Jitsu Cup 2012 takes place next month in Abu Dhabi, UAE and it's one of the most important Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (Gi) tournaments of the year.  The event takes place from April 12-14, 2012 and allows competitors compete for substantial cash prizes.
