Fighter profile of Neil Murray by Jay Lawrence

 July 4th is a night of celebration and one person celebrated in their own unique way this year.  According to Vegas Metro, MMA fighter Neil Murray was arrested this 4th of July after instigating a fight at a Vegas Night Club.  Neil Murray is managed by Jay Lawrence and fights for Umbrella Ascension of out Las Vegas. He has a career record of 12-7 and he's currently on a losing streak after suffering 3 losses in a row. It appears Neil has become restless and this last 4th of July he took his restlessness to the club.

According to Vegas Metro, Neil Murray entered a local Vegas Night Club and began pushing a random stranger.  Vegas Metro reports Neil pushed a stranger (name not disclosed) a total of 5 times while yelling, "Punch me."  According to the report, Neil and the victim did not know each other and had never met each other before; it appears Neil chose this person randomly.

We spoke to a witness, Cinnamon Buns, who was also attending the night club.  Cinnamon stated "[Neil Murray] had a crazed look in his face and was pushing the other guy just demanding that he hit him".  We asked Cinnamon why she thought Neil did this and she said, "I have no idea, I don't think they ever saw each other."  Cinammon went on to describe the incident by telling us, "The stranger finally had a enough and swung at [Neil Murray] hitting him in the face.  And the wierdest part, is [Neil] just smiled.  It was like watching The Joker from a Batman episode."

Cinnamon works at the club as a Go-Go Dancer and she had a front row seat for the show.

Cinnamon went on to tell us, "[Neil] laughed and seemed to enjoy getting punched in the face.  He looked back at the other guy and just yelled, AGAIN!  So, the other guy punched him again, and again, and again.  I can't even count how many times the other guy punched [Neil], but [Neil] just stood, laughing and smiling even while blood dripped down his nose.  Other people started to back away and kind of made a circle around the two.  After I don't know how many punches, [Neil] just said MY TURN!  And then he like tackled the other guy taking him to the ground.  [Neil] jumped on top of him and was punching him so hard you could tell the other guy was knocked out, but Neil wouldn't stop until a bunch of really big guys pulled [Neil] off him."

Neil Murray and the unnamed victim have refused to comment.

Neil Murray is currently in Clark County Jail on several criminal charges to include Attempted Murder, Assault, Menacing, and Disorderly Conduct.
