This is big stuff, and a huge black eye on our population. Over a hot headed bully who muscled his way through everyone in his life, and now it's going to bite him back in the ass.
His career is over as far as i'm concerned.

Yes certainly odd why he Just seemingly did this.. I would ask was this because of Nick's youtube fame, Mike trying to capitalize?
He should offer up something of an apology in person.
However seems it's sorta instigated by both sides.
 
Word is he turned himself into the police, and charges were pressed against him now. His instagram is a full blast of people slamming him and fouad for supporting him.
 
I think it was a 2 way street in some sense and why?
Well Nick didn't have to be around him in that gym at that same time (yes free country) and having a camera man in a public gym I don't think is proper even though the said gym allows it.
Just seems to me there was sorta some instigation involved.

However throat punching is not at all cool and not at all how you deal with a situation.
Youtube has gone to Nick's head cause I can assure you get makes big money on his channel.
 
Personally, as a large man myself who once upon a time had a hot head, I can't abide by anyone who would act that way; that Mike fellow, even if he was verbally instigated, should have let cooler heads prevail. Obviously, its against his nature, but still; A man who is powerful does not need to show said power at every situation, being a warrior in a garden, is better than a gardener in a war.
Further, it would seem based on the word (hearsay at the moment), that the security footage shows that Mike started and finished the assault without real provocation, but that remains to be seen.
I do have a feeling based on his performance at the clips from the Olympia weekend that he would not have acted that way to someone like Dr Mike Israetel with a back ground in BJJ, or someone the same size as him.

regardless, its a stain on our community and I agree that his career is forfeited because of it.

I see a lot of people trying to defend that Mike guy, and I can't understand why anyone would stand behind him, he keeps posting stories that are equivalent of the failed high school tough guy talking about "loyalty", "honor", "you don't know how crazy I am" superimposed over pictures of skulls, soldiers, or tv characters playing gang members. Its cringe, you would hope someone would tell him to try and salvage his career by apologizing and owning up, but it seems he is living in his own echo chamber in a state reminiscent of our current "prime minister".

Ultimately, I hope people push him aside and we find more positive things to focus on while he is relegated to the kids corner where his mental age belongs.

There was zero instigation. Nippard wasn't taking a video of him for the purity of it. He was recording his video series as he's always done. It was mike who inserted himself by brushing up against him (validated by the cctv footage), and then nippard asking him things were 'about to get funny' after mike taunted him.

Fact is, cameras are everywhere at everytime. This is our reality of life now. So Mike seems to be emboldened by this, but 100% he was in the wrong. This isn't two guys squaring off and going at it...all over a video of jeff just saying if big guys were always the most knowledgeable, then why would Cbum need a coach (countering his logic)...because mike initially said in his insecurity he's a small little mediocre man with his knowledge. Again, it shows he is just a meathead.
