Former Georgia wide receiver Javon Wims, now of the Chicago Bears, provided the NFL world with the bizarre fights of the year.
In the third quarter of the Bears vs Saints game on Sunday, Wims surprised everybody when he went after New Orleans defensive back C. J. Gardner-Johnson, a former Florida Gator. Following a play that neither Wims or Gardner-Johnson were involved in, Wims ran up, pulled Gardner-Johnson’s mouthpiece out, punched him once, waited and then punched him again.
What made the fight even better was Gardner-Johnson’s reaction to the first blow. He absolutely just ate the first punch before taking another one. This led to an immediate ejection and a two-game suspension for Wims.

But other than it being Georgia-Florida week, what led to Wims losing his mind and going after Gardner-Johnson?
According to Tom Pelissero of NFL Network, Wims claims that Gardner-Johnson had spit on him. But based on the upcoming video, that does not seem factually correct. At the start of the second half, Gardner-Johnson actually ripped Wims’ mouthpiece out and chucked it down the field. Wims waited patiently for his chance to retaliate, and he did not let the sports world down.
Watch as the following video hilariously breaks down the fight.
Warning: This video contains explicit language that some may find offensive.
