Georgia-Florida week: Former UGA WR ejected for punching former Gator

I simply couldn’t picture a more fitting start to Georgia-Florida week than this.

A scrum broke out between former Georgia wide receiver Javon Wims and former Florida defensive back CJ Gardner-Johnson in the Saints vs Bears game on Sunday afternoon.

Gardner-Johnson was shown putting his finger inside the face mask of Chicago’s wide receiver Anthony Miller which then incited Wims to retaliate.

After the finger poke, Wims gave Gardner-Johnson a subtle tap from behind him and then rung his bell with two very powerful punches before being separated.

WATCH:

Wims was immediately ejected from the game and will likely be fined and possibly suspended.

It was an undisciplined move on Wims’ part but man nothing gets you going like a little Georgia-Florida brawl.  Saturday’s matchup between the No. 8 Gators and No. 5 Bulldogs should be one for the books.
