The OU player deserved it and by all accounts the guy who beat his ass was trying to defuse / leave the situation until it became too much.

If I remember correctly a few years ago a linebacker for Texas (6'2 240) was at a bar and punched his girlfriend or had an altercation with her and some random dude came over to straighten things out. The guy was like 5"11 190 and the Texas linebacker decided to take a go at him.............turns out the guy was a MMA fighter and beat the brakes off the guy.

Saw some pretty gnarly brawls in college, one of my best friends had his orbital shattered with a beer bottle among other things, ............just not worth it.
 
............just not worth it.


^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
The fragment of the post above is probably the best lesson learned from this encounter.

"A funny thing happened on the way to spring camp".......WR will be lucky to be healed in time for fall camp. OU should be trolling the transfer portal today for another WR. It's gonna be a rough next meeting with OU HC......video evidence lets the air out of a common excuse from years ago: "Gee coach, I got sucker punched."

GBB!

Happened to a fraternity brother of mine, got into a verbal altercation with a guy driving on Euclid Avenue, my bro throws a beer bottle at the other guy's car, so other guy follows him up Woodland Avenue to our chapter house. Both cars empty in the parking lot. My fraternity brother (drunk, shocking though that may be to read) jumps out, ready to fight, and the other dude does the same. He is about a head shorter than my frat bro who throws the first punch, thinking he is going to kick the little man's ass . . . . but NOOOOOOOO.

The "little man" turns out to be the 160 lb wrestler for the UK wrestling team, who proceeds to mop the parking lot with my fraternity brother, while the other wrestling team members (occupants of the other car) keep the peace. Moral to the story, it is not the size of the dog in the fight, but the size of the fight in the dog.

if you're not a trained fighter don't start fights with guys that are. It's not that hard to figure out.
I quit fighting when I got old enough to realize teeth, bones and eyes cost money to replace. Unless there is no other alternative, it just ain't worth the trouble. You risk way more than you get out of it. You don't even get a plastic trophy or unframed paper declaring you the winner.
 
My son is a DII Wrestler that goes about 165.

Those kids are not all bad asses by any means but trust me when I say, they are a different breed.
Their conditioning is insane (especially at the collegiate level), they train non-stop and most are not afraid of injury or the taste of their own blood. They get that on a daily basis at practice.

This old man quit f-ing with my son when he was 16 and 142 lbs.
I go 185 and lift and condition myself four days a week but stand no chance in the family scraps anymore.

Anyone can land a good punch and end it but if a good wrestler (MMA figher) gets you to the ground, it's a wrap. Just my two cents.

Cauliflower ear is a dead giveaway. LOL
I drink my beer and mind my own in bars. Just ain't worth it.

Grapplers.....when I was still in Service, the regional Navy recruiting office covering OH, KY and WV was on my base. The CO of the region said they were well placed to support the two extremes of the US Navy. On one hand, OH high schools were so good, they could get smart kids to join the nuclear navy to serve in reactor spaces on subs and aircraft carriers (classroom and prototype training is the best in the world and very very tough). On the other hand, the hillbilly wrestling teams in all three states helped them make their quota on kids who wanted to go SPECWAR (seals) after joining up and serving a short period while awaiting a training slot. He said the wrestlers didn't fear fitness challenges, injury or pain and could be relied upon to get through the training (barring serious injury).....they were his go-to for the very small percentage of Americans with the physical and mental makeup to handle 24 weeks of BUDS.
 
I went to some boxing matches in Fort Worth once and saw former world bantamwieght champion Paulie Ayala, who is 5-5/125. He had body guards surrounding him, and I remember thinking how that tiny little guy could kick my ass in probably about 5 seconds or less. I'm 6-2/215.

Another option is don't be a drunken dick and throw beer bottles at someone's car. That was my takeaway from that incident 40 years ago.

I had a fraternity brother who lifted weights and was built like a truck. He got drunk and started messing with this guy in our frat house parking lot. Bad idea. The guy was an Army Ranger who was home on leave. That Ranger rearranged his face. He was actually cool about the whole thing and showed up to the hospital to make sure my fraternity brother was alright.
 
If a smaller guy knows what he's doing a bigger guy can be in trouble. But he'd best know what he's doing.

I always thought I could hold my own in a fight until I ran into a guy about 5'10" and 140lbs. His hands were so fast he would hit me three times before I could even think about hitting him.

Revenge is a dish best served cold.

Told myself uh uh no way,, had to be a fluke so went to round 2.. Be dammed he was behind me before I could blink and another choke hold after body slamming me.. I'm old,, I fight old school.. Fight til there's blood and someone is knocked out.. I don't know any of that mma bullshit.. Shoulda done what I planned on doing.. Use my baseball bat..

From what I’m reading the football player went in to the restroom to deescalate the situation. The MMA guy may be facing a lawsuit and jail time

What you say is absolutely correct. I was an all state high school wrestler in Illinois. I was an absolute animal when it came to training. I always minded my own business out at the bars when I was older. A few big guys made the same mistake about picking on a smaller guy like me at the bars when I was younger. Once they went to the ground, game over. Needless to say, they left wobbly and embarrassed.

Good laugh - the wisdom of age.
 
My best friend and I were discussing difficult life lessons we've learned. He won, "If you hit somebody in the head with a beer bottle, make sure to hit them hard enough to take them down. If not, you get an ass whipping you never forget."
