WNBA Star Brittney Griner was involved in one of the ugliest fights seen in WNBA history, which caused six players to get ejected from the game. But Griner, who couldn’t even be stopped by a grown man, regretted choosing violence at that point. It was the 2019 WNBA season and the Phoenix Mercury and the Dallas Wings were going head-to-head in a highly intense matchup.

The game was very testy and there was lingering tension between the two teams. In fact, the two teams had a history, and some players did not get along well.

And then it imploded in the fourth quarter. Griner tangled with Wings’ Kristine Anigwe when they were brought together fighting for a rebound. Anigwe pulled Griner’s arm and she swung at BG’s head. This infuriated Griner as she swung back ferociously.

The brawling players started swinging at each other close to the bench and Anigwe retreated back to her team. But this did not stop Griner as she chased and continued to swing fists. And several other players got involved in the altercation as they pushed and shoved each other.

Brittney Griner said the brawl was a culmination of previous interactions

The fight was not a good look on Griner, her teammates, or the WNBA. And Griner later addressed the entire brawl and gave her thoughts on what happened in an interview a few years ago. BG admitted that she was in the wrong for her entire reaction.
