LL Cool J, rapper, actor and Jackson?s MMA student, stops break-in
LL Cool J, the actor and rapper, recently stopped by Jackson's MMA, the gym that trains Jon Jones, Donald Cerrone, Clay Guida and many more UFC stars. According to a tweet from Jackson's MMA, he worked out there before a show in New Mexico. It turns out that workout came in handy when his Los Angeles-area home was broken into.
According to the Los Angeles Times, LL Cool J, whose full name is James Todd Smith, was upstairs when he heard a noise in the kitchen. He fought with the burglar, who suffered a broken jaw in the scuffle. Smith then controlled the burglar until police arrived.
There is no word as to whether Smith's mama told her son to knock the burglar out.

If watching emaciated dudes doff their duds while Joe Rogan and Dana White stand idly by holds any interest to you, a vid of the weigh-ins can be found here.� Otherwise, see you tomorrow!
