Remember that legend about registering your hands as lethal weapons when you obtained your black belt?

Coral Gables, Fla was the scene of quite the bit of road rage. Fernando Rodrigues, a 2 tour Iraqi vet who practices BJJ got into it with Juan Uribe and Michael Caccavella at an intersection. Fernando allegedly punched Uribe and put him in a MMA hold while punching Mike through the truck's window. Judge wasn't a fan:

He was a big guy. I didn’t want any part of him,” Uribe said Tuesday. “I don’t remember much after he hit me.”

Caccavella, who also was carrying a gun, said Tuesday that he came close to shooting Rodrigues in order to help his assistant.

“I was ready to shoot him and do everyone on earth a favor. I pulled the trigger, but realized I didn’t have one in the chamber,” said Caccavella, 54, of Lake Worth. “This could’ve ended really bad for everyone.”

Among the charges against Rodrigues, a Coral Springs resident, are three counts of aggravated battery with a deadly weapon — his hands.
