Spencer Jones, an Oklahoma's rugby player, had to undergo a 4 -hour surgery to save his eyes after fighting at a bar near the university.
A clip of the incident showed a man, Walker Brown, was said to have wrestling experience and MMA wrestled Jones to the ground and punched him constantly. It is still unclear why these two individuals fight.
According to the information sites in the US, the rugby player was hospitalized after the battle for eye surgery.
The surgeon said the player's family should feel “lucky” at this time, when he did not lose his eyes completely. Also according to the doctor, the eye sockets of the rugby player will be completely recovered, but this process will take quite a long time.

According to the lawyer of the rugby player, he was the victim of the scuffle and before being beaten, tried his best to make the incident less tense.
“Unfortunately, tensions have not been reduced despite his best efforts and he has become the victim of the evil attack that you have seen.”
In the beginning of the MMA, the competition format was misunderstood by many people for violent individuals. It took many years to the majority of the people to change the perspective on MMA. Although it is still not really clear who is the one who started the incident, the recklesss will still easily make MMA again get aversion.
