I know from a few ex-NHL tough guys that they get "challenged" by bar clowns pretty regularly who think they "looked at my girl" or whatever, trying to prove they are tougher than professional tough people. It generally doesn't go the way they're hoping. But I know that guys that look like Biz are prime for these people trying to prove themselves and it can get dangerous. Doesn't really sound like that's what happened here, but I'm guessing if "ex-NHL" was said by anyone in the exchange, some ape there needs to take a swing.

Good on Bissonnette for sticking up for the restaurant and staff. I don't think I would do it; in fear of messing with the wrong man, and paying for it. And its America, there are some crazy people down there.

In the States? No chance I would have tried helping.
Respect the hell out of Biz for doing that.
Also love that Marchand bit. #### he got him good

I'm not a fighter anyways, but in the USA? Not a chance in Hell. You could get arrested or sued or who knows what. No way.
I'd call the cops.

To the guy who suggested him and 5 of his buddies would be capable of "swarming" Jon Jones your crazy LOL. Assumimg your all average sized (5"10 and 185) unless you guys have some high level training and are able to coordinate some sort of ambush the more likely result is you all get buckled one by one. This is a man who is 6"4 and walking around 230 lbs and has spent the last 20 years training at the highest level and dominating it. You would have to get extremely lucky if you think you and a couple of your buds are getting anything other than a ride to the hospital.

You're thinking of the "Irish Rovers." Wasn't that a party?

I had no idea there were Travellers in the US. I thought it was just in the UK and Ireland.
These particular individuals sure seem scummy.
