I read that it was his brother that took down the other dude. Their dad owns a strength training center in Norman and they've studied MMA for 10 years.
That could have ended even uglier than it did.

That OU article seems like BS saying the OU player was the victim and trying to be the "peacemaker". Him and his buddy were the instigators in that video.

Football players and frat kids have been getting their asses kicked by the wrestlers in Norman for years, since the 80s and maybe earlier.boognish_bear said:

Braden Brown is his name. That's his brother that's with him. He played football and wrestled in High school in Norman. Their Dad owns a powerlifting gym apparently. He seems like an otherwise good kid.BearsRoundBall41 said:
Who's the wrestler? Is he on scolarship?

The OU athlete attended a private school in Nashville.
Hate to see two young people damage their lives like this, but the prep school brat has himself to blame.
This is what happens when guys who fight and train seriously, get picked on by bullies who are bigger, but have never been in a real fight, much less train for it.Quote:
"Just to get rid of the misconceptions, I'm the fellow in the beanie and that is my brother. We are not wrestlers at any university, we have been wrestling since we were in diapers and cage fighting since we were 12. They gave us no options, unfortunately. We showed restraint," said Braden Brown.

Braden Brown later clarified that he was the man in the beanie who was fighting Jones' friend as the footballer was being beaten to a pulp by Brown's brother. He also claimed that he and his brother showed restraint but Spencer Jones and his friend gave them no other option but to fight.

Yep, and inexperienced fighters don't know how to keep a grappler off of them.boognish_bear said:Spencer's height advantage quickly became a disadvantage once it turned into a wrestling match.Robert Wilson said:

My son goes to class/dojo whatever it is preferably called 4 times a week, they alternate jiu jitsu, with Mai tai alternate days. One day they work boxing the next they work ground assault, or what looks like wrestling.Robert Wilson said:

You sound like me almost. My son is much smaller than me, but he is very athletic, right now track season is taking more time, but I wanted him to be able to defend himself if a bully cornered him.Robert Wilson said:
I've done some BJJ and put my son in it whenever his regular sports are not in season. He's pretty athletic, but he's on the small side (unlike me), and I wanted to make sure he could take care of himself if he was ever getting picked on. I won't say much but will say it came in very handy for him once.
It takes an excellent and experienced striker to keep a good grappler off of them, and there are just almost none of those out walking around. Not none, but not many, and your garden variety bully or loudmouth isn't likely one of them.
Yeah, that's all I was trying to control for - the junior high or high school loudmouth bully or the drunk ass at a college party. A few months of training and you will handle one of those guys easily. The guys who can really fight don't run around acting like that, as a general rule. The BJJ and MMA guys I've met were a nice, respectful and impressive group (and the more experienced and better they were, the more true this was).Forest Bueller_bf said:You sound like me almost.

My son looks like the last person who would kick your ass. Sweet face, floppy hair, huge smile, MMA man says he doesn't have to worry about almost anybody, he can defend himself. That makes me feel better.
Of course there is always the exception, but for guys like the frat guys, he is good. He was in Tai Kwon Do for years, but the intensity lacked somewhat, not that it couldn't be good. The MMA guys are really serious about being able to fight. I think he's learned more fighting in 8 months of that training, than 5 years of TKD.
I will say this, when he gets home from the MMA guys, he is so ramped up, it takes a while for him to settle back down. They get after it.
