The Ultimate Fighter (TUF) has been providing world-class fighters for the UFC roster since the iconic clash between Forrest Griffin and Stephan Bonnar in 2005. Even those who don't make it to the UFC roster usually go on to excel in other promotions.

One such alum is Dustin Lampros, who has taken it upon himself to catch and punish child predators. Lampros, who featured in the 29th season of TUF, is making child predators do push-ups and squats before handing them over to the police.

In a recent video, 'Scrappy' was seen confronting a man who seemingly carried blankets and a condom to smoke marijuana with a 13-year-old in a park. The featherweight fighter then makes the man do push-ups and squats before the video cuts to him confronting another similar perpetrator who he hands over to the cops.

Watch the clip below:

Dustin Lampros, who was representing team Alexander Volkanovski on The Ultimate Fighter 29, faced Vince Murdock from team Brian Ortega. 'Scrappy' started landing with volume early in the fight, pressing his opponent against the cage.

However, Murdock suddenly dropped Lampros with a desperate right hand and followed it up with a vicious flurry which went unanswered, forcing referee Jason Herzog to step in at 2:40 of the opening frame.

TUF alum Dustin Lampros started training in order to deal with a bully

While Dustin Lampros failed to earn a UFC contract, he went on to scale significant heights elsewhere. 'Scrappy' was crowned the Shamrock FC featherweight champion last year with a third-round TKO win over Brandon Ball, also extending his perfect record to 8-0 (TUF fights are not included in pro records).

However, fighting has not always been the preferred sport for the Florida native. Lampros admittedly was always a football and baseball player who wanted to fight. He was initially drawn into the sport through his liking for TUF and the need to defend himself against a bully. The Kill Cliff FC (formerly Sanford MMA) representative said in Q&A:

“Was a fan of The Ultimate Fighter, then I wanted to learn how to defend myself because of a bully." h/t Fansided.com
