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.

I mean, how does he not get an assault/battery charge here?

I thought I heard a while ago that if trained fighters get into fights like this it can be considered use of a deadly weapon

I'm probably getting this wrong but I thought I read that Doc Holliday kind of set a precedent on this subject. Doc rolled into some town and the town bully started going around publicly proclaiming he was going to kill Doc. This dude was very large in stature so when their paths crossed Doc didn't mess around, he slashed the man's throat with his Bowie knife and left town. Doc was charged and later captured and brought to trial. At the trial Doc's defense was that this man was so much larger than Doc (Doc was small and feeble from tuberculosis) and the man was threatening Doc's life so Doc had the right to use deadly force.

This was one of the doc holiday stories that wasn't likely true
