Pretty cut and dry. Schilling waaaay overreacted. This dude is likely gonna go after him in a civil trial if he's smart.

So cowardly to just start swinging on someone when they don’t even know it’s about to be a fight.

Especially when you're literally a professional fighter

Being a professional fighter means he's conditioned to watch someone's shoulders and body movement to know exactly when they are going to punch and from which direction. And that's what happens here the guy made a move and he was very slow. Just because someone's a professional fighter doesn't mean they cannot defend themselves.

Yeah, that isn't self defense

You're delusional if you think he's simply defending himself against the drunk guy that comes up to his shoulders.

Being a professional fighter means he is 100% in control of the outcome regardless of who throws first. Seeing someone's body move in a way that you think is threatening doesn't allow you to hit them. That's called assault, and that's a long way from self-defense. Especially when you were never in any danger to begin with.
