EX-UFC Fighter Roger Huerta Responds To Street Fight Incident

The mixed martial arts community–including UFC President Dana White–has been very supportive in response to a TMZ video that apparently showed former UFC fighter Roger Huerta viciously beating down a man who struck a woman outside of an Austin, Texas bar.

Huerta himself has now weighed in on the situation, explaining to TMZ that the other man in the “street fight” provoked him.

He tells TMZ that after witnessing the “huge guy” punch the woman, he “approached the man calmly and said, ‘Do you know what you just did? You just knocked out this girl.'”

During the calm confrontation, Huerta claims that the other man said something along the lines of, “‘F*ck you, f*ck these bitches, I’ll knock out any f*ckin’ bitch that I wanna f*ckin’ knock out, I’ll knock your f*cking bitch ass out.’”

While ranting, “he’s taking off his shirt … and at that point I was like, ‘alright,'” adds Huerta.

Huerta maintains that he did not throw the first punch and only reacted when the other man started swinging. “I got the better of him and I left,” says Huerta, adding, “”f that was my mom, if that was my sister, my spouse, anyone … I would’ve wanted someone to step in and do something about it.

  1. That’s an awsome thing you did Roger! My niece was the victim of a racially motivated beat down over the weekend. She was jumped and beaten by 3 guys and a female. She has multiple fractures in her face and has a concussion. I wish someone like you would have been there. It is nice to know that there are people like you out there. GOOG JOB!

  2. Nice! Good for you man. I would have done the same thing. If you hit a girl be prepared to get K.T.F.O!

  3. It’s all about doing the right thing, which Roger obviously did. Thank God for him, and others like him.

  4. Good job roger and ppl please stop thinking that guy represents african americans because we’re just as happy he got his ass kicked as you.
