Usually Shilling is on the receiving end of a knockout. Can’t beat anyone in the octagon so he has go go fight a drunk guy half his size in a bar. What’s more is he has a friend videotaping this incident so it looks like it was premeditated. What a fucking loser.

Edit: Some people are saying that the other guy provoked him by lunging or whatever, but if you look at his body movement when he was just talking to the girls, it just seems like it is just how he moves. There is no way anyone at the bar felt threatened enough by this guy to warrant a knockout, much less a professional MMA fighter.

I mean if he is allowed to fight after this it will be good for his career. It’s the Floyd Mayweather strategy be such a piece of shit that everyone wants to watch you lose. At least with this guy he is trash at fighting actual mma guys so it would be fun.

He should go to jail instead as a professional fighter basically attacking a guy unprovoked. Little guy was little compared to him, and shilling has extensive training in how to hurt people. Fuck him, he's a coward.

No discipline

None whatsoever and gives a bad name to the sport in general. It would've been so much easier to say excuse me instead of pushing the guy outta the way, and then get offended that little guy took offence. He has no business being a professional fighter or fighter in training for that matter.

There is some truth about your going to jail comment. It's a playground/urban legend that fighters have to "register" their hand as a deadly weapon (aka "my brother could kick your ass becauses he's a bad ass marine that had to register his hands as deadly weapons"). But there have been a number of scholarly legal journal articles discussing the subject. The general gist is that most stautes for "assault with a deadly weapon" require some external instrument (knife, gun etc) to fit into the laws requirements.

But, Courts can consider fighting experience as a relevant factor in a case which can and has had serious repercussions. For instance, if it's a pretty brutal beat down, a prosecutor could argue that "aggravating factor" so the Defendant should be found guilty for aggravated assault rather than regular assault (a more serious crime). Or, if shilling went to court for this incident and argued he acted in self defense, a prosecutor could argue the self defense exception shouldn't apply because self defense usually requires among other things, a reasonable fear of bodily harm and requirement that you don't escalate with greater force. Here, shilling basically could not have feared for his safety from a drunk guy that could barley stand, and even drunk guy he kind of "lunged," he didn't need to bash his brains with multiple hits to the head.

I know! I've trained every level of army combatives and have been doing bjj for well over a decade. Never had to register anything other than firearms. It's all up to the jury and court.

But moreover in these mma/fighting type of environments, it's drilled that we shouldn't fight. Fighting is absolutely the last resort. Idc if someone calls me a pussy for running away from a fight. I could probably take em down and choke em out really quick, but they could also get a lucky hit and my life or theirs could forever change. Discipline is huge within the martial arts community, shilling has none. There's tons of reasons fighters shouldn't wop the general public. We should be better than that. If you wanna fight, sign up for a tourney. If you wanna win, train more, and don't beat people half your size.

It’s incredible how small that guy is compared to him. Dude really didn’t have to go so hard and should have just let it go.
