Despite Kalib Woods sending two students to the hospital following an alleged fight, the wide receiver wants both his felony battery charges dismissed.

He allegedly fought students Adrian Muckle and Stephan Reese at a Boca Raton banquet hall in January. Woods pleaded not guilty for battery following his June arrest.

During his Monday hearing, Woods’ attorney claimed the football player acted in self-defense and did not start the fight.
