The Oklahoma football player, who almost lost an eye in a bar fight this month, came, according to the other parties.
Walker Brown said he was “defending me” when he accused Sooners wide receiver and kicker Spencer Jones in the Logies on the Corner bar in Norman, Okla.
A 58-second video that went viral last week captured the moment Brown, a junior at school, trained a mixed martial arts fighter and fighter, landed several fists and put Jones in a suffocation.
Jones, a senior in a red shirt, underwent a four-hour procedure to rebuild his left orbital base following the noise, according to The Athletic.
Police are investigating the incident, which allegedly took place in the early hours of February 14.
No arrests were made.
The video begins with Jones telling Brown to “get out of here.”
Brown was then pushed by someone sitting next to Jones. A few seconds later, Brown wiped the blood from his face and hit Jones.
“Something happened before the video started, because my nose doesn’t bleed for no reason,” Brown wrote on a GoFundMe page to help with his medical expenses.
Brown broke his biceps, according to the page, which raised $ 35,745.
Woodrow Glass, a lawyer representing Jones, said his client was “trying to disqualify the situation” and that the blood on Brown’s face was not caused by Jones.
Glass said Jones went to the bathroom to check on his friend when he got in the middle of a dispute.
The video also shows Brown’s brother, Braden, fighting with another man in the bathroom.
Braden Brown, who is also a student in Oklahoma, wrote on Twitter on Saturday that he and his brother “have been fighting since I was in diapers and MMA / Cage Fighting since I was 12 years old. I showed restraint. ”
