Kentucky And Louisville Fans Fight At Dialysis Clinic

The rivalry between Kentucky and Louisville was taken to a new level on Tuesday when two fans started a fistfight at a dialysis clinic, according to WYMT.com.

"I think this is a first at a dialysis center," Lt. Robert Swanigan said.

The fight started when the fans began arguing about which team would win Saturday’s Final Four match-up.

"He just happened to think UofL would beat UK and he started to run his mouth," said dialysis patient Ed Wilson, who is a Kentcuky fan. "That's what started it."

Charles Taylor, a Louisville fan, was waiting to get hooked up to a machine and was talking to another fan when Wilson intervened.

"I didn't talk to him about the ball game; I was talking to another guy about the game," Taylor said. "He was meddling. And told me to shut up and gave me the finger!"

Wilson added: "I went up to him and I hit him. Didn't hit him that hard, but I hit him."
