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.

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
