Seriously Injured

South Carolina -- A former professional wrestler - Sean Christopher Haire - who left wrestling in 2004 to focus on mixed martial arts fighting in Japan, was seriously hurt in a fight outside a bar on Friday night, a Beaufort County sheriff's report states.

The 36-year-old man told deputies he was attacked while walking up to the bar, according to the report.

The fighter claimed he was helping a friend who was attacked by three unknown males when a 28-year-old man punched him in his left eye, knocking him into nearby bushes and seriously injuring him.

Witnesses to the incident dispute Haire's allegations and say the other man was acting in self defense. The general manager of the bar said Haire had on several occasions tried to start a fight with the other man.
