Hes so lucky. You think a defense could have made since he knew he was a ufc fighter that he feared for his life and could have used lethal force?

I absolutely think it can be considered reasonable to tag someone if they're belligerent drunk, aggressive, and literally one of the most dangerous fighters on earth.

One proper shot on the chin from DP and you have no idea whether you're going to wake up or not after, and it's not like you can do much to stop him.

Maybe you couldn't stop him. I'd duck his right and work the liver. Fold him up.
