This happened at an Oklahoma bar, weekend of Feb 13/14. The two smaller guys are MMA fighters (not professional):

With the caveat that I don't know ANYTHING about Oklahoma law and all we have is a short video that probably doesn't tell the whole story...

...In Florida, this would likely be called "mutual affray" even with the serious bodily injury to the football player's eye.

One of the football players shoved one of the brothers. There were clearly words going back and forth. The football players are much bigger guys (and probably in great shape).

If the brothers were charged and I was on the jury, I'd say to the football player your mouth wrote a check your ass couldn't cash, you're lucky, if that was a gang banger instead of a cage fighter you mighta got stabbed or shot, so shup up, take your L, and go home.

Trying to interpret the "play by play" announcer's words (lol). He mentions, or implies that the MMA dude received a bloody nose before the camera started recording....presumably at the hands of the football player.

I’m not sure how that’s not assault. The guy didn’t touch the other guy.

The dude’s gonna go to jail.
Big guy hit little guy and bloodied his nose. Then little guy taught big guy a lesson.

Looks like a fair fight to me and that the little guys were not the aggressor.

That’s exactly what you do to morons that wanna talk sh*t and act like bad asses. Punch em right in the face and then proceed to pound them into submission.
I love it!

Assault: an act, criminal or tortious, that threatens physical harm to a person, whether or not actual harm is done.

Battery: the crime or tort of unconsented physical contact with another person, even where the contact is not violent but merely menacing or offensive.

Doesn't have to touch the guy for assault.

Did I miss something? I didn’t see him touch the guy. I saw the other guy touch him.
