On Sunday afternoon, a video of Carolina Panthers great Cam Newton appearing to be ambushed emerged on social media. Here’s the clip:

Details regarding the incident, which took place during one of Newton’s 7v7 tournaments, are scarce to this point. Per TMZ, the event was held at Coretta Scott King Young Women’s Leadership Academy in Atlanta, Ga.

This isn’t a first for Panthers fans, who are very much acquainted with Newton’s scuffling skills. In 2015, the eventual Most Valuable Player and cornerback Josh Norman engaged in a fit of fisticuffs during training camp—giving us this lasting image:

And just like in that brawl, Newton looked to come out on top.
