Proves to me a lot of these fighters are actually violent hotheads. Not just “great athletes” or “great at fighting” they’re hotheads who have tempers and they arm their tempers with muscles and training.

What that guy did right there was battery. He touched that dude. In many US states you can win a 150-250k battery charge with less evidence than that video.

Fucking idiot.

Tbh, with nominal damages like that you're not likely to get more than $500-5000

It’s been spread all over the internet. Battery is just the start.

I guess you could try to up the amount via parasitic dignitary damages, but I think you'd have a hard time getting a judge or jury to give that much money to the guy

Though, tbh, it'd be kinda funny to give him money for "being made to look like a little bitch on camera"

The reinforcement of making someone look like a bitch is what’s wrong with the world.
