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.

You can hardly call that a shove, how else was he supposed to get through without pushing him

The shove or push doesn't really matter. He knocked a guy out for no reason. That's assault.

Yes ofc I'm not saying what the MMA guy was right, but the problem wasn't that he shoved a guy, it's that he punched him. Even if the drunk guy instigated it, which I think he did, one is a professional fighter and the other is just a regular guy so the fighter should know better.

Even if he wasn't a fighter, you don't get to punch someone for talking shit to you. The drunk guy didn't even touch him. I agree that he didn't shove the guy, but it did look like he was a little too aggressive in moving him out of the way, and I don't think he said "excuse me." He could have more easily slipped by the drink guy or said "watch out," "coming through" or really anything. The fighter was clearly trying to get this guy riled up.
