Justin Balboa, the man caught on video getting knocked out by Joe Schilling, has filed a personal injury lawsuit against the fighter and the bar where the incident took place.
Schilling and Bro Management Las Olas LLC – the corporate entity behind B Square Burgers in Fort Lauderdale, Fla. – are named as co-defendants, with the Bellator MMA vet being sued for battery and the bar for negligence. Balboa seeks damages in excess of $30,000 from each; his co-attorney Rich Conforti told MMA Fighting the total damages are well over $100,000.
“We’ve initiated the lawsuit, the defendants are in the process of being served,” Conforti said.
