NFL Hall of Famer Michael Irvin was placed in the middle of a bar fight earlier this week after he arrived back in Texas from filming an episode of ESPN's First Take. Irvin and a friend stopped by the Knockout Sports Bar in Dallas around 10 P.M. before the pair was confronted with an altercation.
The retired wide receiver and his friend were playing pool when another patron approached them. Irvin's friend reportedly asked for the man to leave them alone, which led to a heated exchange. Video footage showed Irvin attempting to avoid the situation from escalating by calming the unidentified man down and even hugging him.
Despite Irvin's efforts, the exchange led to a bar brawl between multiple men, including Irvin's friend. In the video, the man is seen walking away before turning around and punching Irvin's friend multiple times. The fight led to a physical altercation between additional men as Irvin, and the other patrons watched.
According to reports, the police were not called and are not investigating the bar brawl.
