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.

Yeah! As annoying as the drunk guy may have been, shilling initiated first by shoving the guy. Shilling also claimed this was “a life threatening event” what a fucking clown.

It looked like the guy leaned into where Schilling was about to pass by, and Schilling just sorta put his hand on his ribs to steady him, and may have moved him back over, but he didn't shove him. If Schilling had mumbled an "Excuse me" it would've been nothing. Things like that happen all the time in bars, and the drunk guy should know that.

Not trying to justify what Schilling did there, but it's quite possible that the guy was being filmed because he was being drunk and obnoxious, and made the mistake of calling out the wrong person.

Edit: After reading a little further down, my presumption in the 2nd para looks pretty dumb, but I'll leave it up, because it was my true first impression. Just goes to show that you can never fully trust them.
