Arizona and Arizona State faced off for Territorial Cup on Friday and things got chippy on and off the field. The Wildcats beat the Sun Devils 38-35, but their mascot took the loss in a fight with Arizona State's.
Wilbur and Sparky got into it on the sidelines in the middle of the game as Arizona State was about to run a play. Sparky landed some haymakers and actually turned Wilbur's big ol' mascot head before they were separated.

Here's another look where you can see Arizona State score a touchdown right after the mascots were pulled apart.
This might be the craziest sequence I’ve ever recorded.

We're not sure if this fight was real or a setup as part of the rivalry game festivities. Either way, some pretty serious punches were landed. Gotta love a college football rivalry game.
