A viral video posted to X (formerly Twitter) shows former Panthers star QB Cam Newton standing tall and completely flattening his opponent in a 7-on-1 brawl.
Details of the incident are still unclear, but Newton appears to have been jumped at a 7-on-7 youth football tournament run by his company. C1N Sports.
In one video, Newton is seen holding two assailants at arm's length as a third attacker punches him from behind, before all hell breaks loose.

Video shows Newton absorbing multiple punches and dragging Scrum to the fence, where other alleged attackers joined the scuffle. (Related: Cam Newton explains the difference between a 'bad bitch' and other women)
Approximately 20 seconds after the skirmish began, event staff and security were seen de-escalating the situation and separating Newton from the suspects who had jumped.
This is one of the craziest videos I've ever seen, but it's also further proof that Cam is worthy of the nickname “Superman” in the NFL.
Literally seven guys swung at him and he never fell. He just took the punch and stood his ground.
What did these guys think was going to happen? Can Newton is 6-foot-6, 240 pounds and definitely nuts. He fought with then-Panthers teammate Josh Norman in 2015, and a photo of him smiling devilishly while knocking the cornerback to the ground went viral.

He clearly enjoys the fisticuffs.
However, with a move like this, the former QB may have a future in the Octagon. Someone please send this video to Dana White ASAP.
