Dustin Lampros is pretty good at mixed martial arts. The 30-year-old out of Killcliff FC has a perfect 9-0 record as a pro. In July 2022, Lampros rose to the top of Shamrock FC when he defeated Brandon Bell to win the Shamrock FC Featherweight Championship. Since then, the Delray Beach, Florida native has successfully defended his title and is now fighting outside the cage in the streets, trying to expose sex offenders.
Dustin Lampros Takes on 561pc Sex Offenders in South Florida
Lampros donned a hood (not real) and cape (also not real) and became the 561 Predator Catcher, or 561pc. The undefeated featherweight boxer operates under the superhero moniker of a Palm Beach County, Florida area code.
“Scrappy” blogs about his adventures on YouTube, luring online sex predators to meet him in public and have police arrest him. The Shamrock FC champion teams up with Ryan Montgomery, chief technology officer at the Sentinel Foundation, an anti-human trafficking nonprofit, to lure and capture the predators. Lampros furthers his social media efforts with the Instagram handle @561cp and the hashtag #ProtectTheChildren.
It's always great when MMA fighters give back to their communities, but when they fight for their communities, it's a whole other story.
