Joe Schilling posts a message for his fans and critics

The professional MMA fighter took to Instagram to express his beliefs. He wrote that he was glad that the legal battle was finally over. He went on to say that it seemed like everyone loved the narrative of a professional fighter beating up an innocent person, but that was not the case. Schilling added, “I don’t like bully’s and I refuse to be bullied by anyone”. He further claimed that the lawyer hired by his accuser had threatened to ruin him financially.
