A Dingwall man recorded a video of him beating another man unconscious after they met up for a “square go” in nearby woods.
Inverness Sheriff Court heard on Tuesday that Darren Kennedy, 27, and Stuart Johnstone had exchanged insults into the early hours of November 10 last year.
They agreed to fight in Maggies’ Woods and when they arrived there, both men stripped to the waist to prove that neither was carrying a weapon, the court heard.
Kennedy then got the better of his opponent, who was filmed lying on the ground. He was covered in blood with Kennedy standing over him and berating him with insults and comments about bottles being thrown at him, fiscal depute Alex Swain said.

COVID court closures could trickle down for Fresno County
KFSN
FRESNO, Calif. (KFSN) The burden of COVID cases has Fresno County courts cutting down on public access and delaying a lot of cases, and a coming court backlog could affect the entire community.
There s not a lot of activity at the courthouse these days. Once busy hallways are mostly empty and nearly every hearing is by Zoom.
As of this week, the court postponed a lot of new court cases to cut down on potential exposure.
But while the cases are on hold, crime isn t. Arrests don t stop, said Sheriff Margaret Mims. They keep coming. So they keep coming in the front door of the jail and we re at capacity every single day and so we do have releases.
