A 19-year-old Muay Thai fighter in Australia has become a topic of discussion for rescuing women threatened by a retaliatory driver.

The UK's 'The Sun' reported on the 5th (Korea time) that "professional Muay Thai fighter Ryan McDonald (19) intervened to stop an enraged driver in a road rage incident that occurred in Queensland, Australia."

According to dashcam footage at the time, a van vehicle cut in aggressively and blocked the car carrying the women. The van driver got out of his vehicle and attempted to forcibly open the doors of the women's car. At this moment, McDonald stepped out of his own car and stood in front of the van driver to block him.

The two men engaged in a heated argument and even removed their shirts, but it did not escalate into a fistfight. The van driver retreated after realizing that McDonald was a professional mixed martial artist with a record of 8 wins and 4 knockouts. When the driver threatened, "Are you really going to try for real?" McDonald retorted, "Yes," and eventually, the driver left the scene in his car.

In an interview with local media, McDonald stated, "Seeing only two women inside the car, I thought I should use the skills I learned to protect them and calm the situation." He added, "Calming the situation without resorting to fists was the best outcome, and everyone was able to return home safely that day."

The video has garnered over 2 million views and sparked widespread discussion. Netizens praised his courageous actions, calling him a "true hero who stepped up for women he had never met before," expressing relief that someone took action against behavior that threatened women, which is absolutely unacceptable, and describing him as "a model of a youth worthy of respect."
