So is there a story behind this, or just some good old random violence?

No context behind it. But I've seen people say it's because the guy legitimately wanted to fight Neer and was talking a bunch of ****, and I saw someone else say that this guy was just really adamant in wanting to spar with Neer, and his impatience pissed Neer off. Those are just the two things I've seen, but there's no real proven context behind it. I'd like to think it was at the very least the first thing. Even then, this is still bad. But if he posted a video of him doing this to someone for literally no reason whatsoever, he may be the dumbest human being alive.

Well, that was violent.

That little kick to the face after he stood up goes well beyond a sparring session that got out of control, or even a legitimate fight.  That crosses the line (which had already been crossed by continued elbows to an obviously helpless opponent) into unforgivable territory.

I don't want to judge too much with so little details on the whole context of the situation (as far as whether or not this is criminal), but it's pretty safe to say Neer is a ******* psycho.  The video was upload under the category "comedy."  There isn't really a context where what went on there is ok.

Already trending on Twitter.  The comments are not very complimentary.  If this gets as much press as I assume it will, he might have a hard time getting promotions to hire him for a while.

What a ******* **********.  It would be one thing if Neer tried to settle whatever dispute he had with the guy (if that whole supposed narrative has any truth to it) in a sparring match and beat him.  But no, Neer decides he needs to act like a ******* savage ape and proceeds to give the guy a glorified mugging as well as a parting cheap shot by soccer kicking the guy's face. 

Bellator has to terminate Neer's contract after this.

Here's the facebook page of the other guy in the video.  https://www.facebook.com/people/Patrick-Martin/678083503

He is short on details, but claims the video shows what happened after a round, after he had removed his mouthpiece.  It seems like he's more upset about the video not showing what happened earlier, where he claims he was winning.

Strange crap.  Hard to know the context, but Neer is gonna need a really good explanation.

So I'm just going to say what everyone is thinking since you're all tip-toeing around it.

Neer seriously knows how to upload videos to the internet?

Can't verify if this is the truth, but this was posted in a reddit thread a little while ago:

[–]New_PheightzUnited States 8 points 37 minutes ago* 

I was in the gym.

I am by no means condoning what Josh did. I just want to tell the story.

This guy came in to our gym last week for a grappling class and was getting tapped left and right. Got frustrated, said something about "if this was MMA" and left.

He spent the entire weekend harassing Josh on social media about wanting to fight.

He then shows up in the middle of MMA class tonight with wraps on his hands calling out Josh.

For the record, the fighter was not KO'd while he was on his back. He was talking to Josh. Once again, not condoning what Josh did. Just getting the facts straight.


 


If the reddit thing is the real story, then the Martin guy was being a d-bag.  Still, just because the guy was a ****** doesn't justify that ass-whipping.

Neer shared his side of the story to Bloody Elbow. 

"Basically the guys a dumbass and been talking **** about MMA fighters for a month. On and on, I usually ignore him but this Saturday he wrote me on Facebook the message i gave. He had written 10 messages to me talking **** which I ignored, but this time I said if you really want to fight come to the gym Monday at 5:30."

"I don't know what his problem is but he's a big guy, like 6-6 and 270 pounds and just acts like a bully. That what he seems like to me, just a bully."


"He showed up at 6:10, 40 mins into my practice. And then I asked him if he wanted to fight Rakim or me and Rakim is bigger then me so of course he chose me."

Here is pics of texts messages sent between Neer and Martin.  Note: Huge pictures.







I don't know about you guys, but I think I maybe shifting my support towards Neer now based on what I read.  Granted the soccer kick was still unnecessary.

@vazio That's pretty god damn funny, I have to say.  Kudos to the people at Wikipedia for that little gem.
