Congrats Flyer 68!! This has to be one of the worst hot takes on this board of all time. I'm all for letting due process run it's course with the University and legal system as a whole, but declaring Sam Miller to be a victim.... take a knee.

At some early point in the "fight", the other guy is no longer defending himself but affirmatively assaulting Miller. Has all the aspects of a downed fighter in a UFC fight.
In no way am I condoning Miller's stupid, drunken antics and behavior and he should have known better. Alcohol clouds your mind and does not make you a better fighter. But when you break down the video, I think the other guy may have a more serious assault and battery issue. You can defend yourself to a point but then it becomes an outright assault and battery against the original attacker. UFC fighting is permitted in the octagon only.
