TMZ has obtained footage of former UFC superstar Roger Huerta engaging in a bloody street fight in Austin, Texas this weekend — against a man who appears to have socked a woman in the head.
27-year-old Huerta — who was once featured on the cover of Sports Illustrated — was in front of a bar in Austin around 2 AM on Saturday morning … when some other people began fighting. Roger was near the scuffle … when he saw one of the men involved punch a female who was standing near the ruckus.
Once Huerta sees the woman collapse to the ground — he instantly tries to confront the attacker saying, “You just punched a f**kin’ girl.”
Moments later, Huerta takes off his shirt … slams his hat to the ground … and rushes after the man.
Chaos ensues and people scramble after the fighters, blocking the camera — but seconds later … a shirtless Huerta can be seen finishing his attack on the other man … who is sprawled out on the street.
People rush in to aid the bloody man on the ground — who eventually gets off the pavement — as Huerta walks away from the battle ground.
Austin PD tells TMZ that officers were called to the scene — but so far, no arrests have been made.
Huerta’s manager tells us, “I have not spoken to Roger yet about this incident, but I can say that it’s in his nature to be very protective of women.”
