Roger Huerta on street fight: 'I would do it again, I have no regrets'

Roger Huerta discusses what went down on TMZ Live after he saw Rashad Bobino coldcock a helpless woman in the streets of Ausitn, Texas:
"I approached the man and said, "You don't do that. You don't hit a woman." The video doesn't show what happened next, but he said, "F--- you. I'll knock any b---- out I want." The tape also doesn't show that he swung at me two or three times right after that. All you see is me bouncing up and down. He has already swung at me at that point. Then the guy takes off running. I chased him down and you saw what else happened... I can't talk about what exactly happened because it's a legal metter... If the same thing occurred, I would do it all over again. I have no regrets."
Earlier this month, former UFC lightweight and current Bellator fighter Roger Huerta reached a whole new level of stardom thanks to a video of him stomping out a wannabe tough guy who inexplicably sucker punched a woman outside of an Austin, Texas bar. The story has been well documented, and while it earned "El Matador" heaps of respect from just about every person on the planet, it also potentially brought upon some unwanted legal issues. Huerta returned to the scene of the crime, not Austin, but TMZ, to talk about the famed incident. He says he has no regrets. Should he?

Always was a fan, but this made him one of my favorites! Every MAN should do the same thing!
Anderson Silva is by far the number one P4P king!!! Even when he is losing a fight he still comes back and finishes for the win! GSP dominates the whole fight and still can't finish! LOL
kick his ass, Seabass!

I don't see how you can argue that it's not him............
Blame Canada, Blame Canada, With all their hockey hullabaloo, And that bitch Anne Murray too, Blame Canada,Shame on Canada...............

Thats called flashes from camera that gave a bad light effect to the photo, but the tatoo is still there. Yes Huerta should not feel bad and should do it again. I think this is going to be dropped and considered mutual combat by the Texas authorities.
I've got something to say; it better to burn in hell than to fade away!!!
never trust texas when it comes to a legal matter.
i remember a while back those jock and punks got i a brawl, a jock left the scene, drove off, then did a u-turn drove back, ran a punk kid down with his car , killed him, and got probation.

Jocks in Texas always get special treatment, is what I heard.
Especially them HS football players in those little towns that revolve around HS football.
"My fault, my failure, is not in the passions I have, but in my lack of control of them."
Nice is that an actual Texas legal term?
Mutual Combat? Leave to Texas to have a law as bad ass as that. I wish they had that in NY when I was younger. It may have saved me some legal troubles!
"My fault, my failure, is not in the passions I have, but in my lack of control of them."
We've been over this already. No he shouldn't feel guilty.
I thought everyone was in the same boat here.

He shouldn’t feel guilty but he should regret it because he is going to get in trouble.. If the guy is running away the immediate threat is gone..you can not chase him down and beat his ass..
He's not getting in any trouble.
Noons does not have power in his hands. Maybe his knees but his hands do not have KO power. they’re good enough to cut up and swell up gurgel’s face, but he won’t be ko’ing gurgel tonight.-STAK
None of us know that… The fact is he might… No need to risk it over this fool..Make sure the girl is okay and move on..
Huerta should keep quiet about it all I would think.
Lay low and hope it goes away.

I doubt the Texas cops are itching to go defend that piece of shit. Huerta may face a civil suit, but.....
The cops aren’t going to do shit to him. He did the city of Austin a service.

He would have a set of Giant Balls to take Huerta to Civil Court...
He is the 250 lb man that swung on the 170lb mexican. He thought he was gonna ko someone else and when he saw Roger’s head movement, his heart must have just sunk….Damn, what did I get myself in to now! LOL!
"My fault, my failure, is not in the passions I have, but in my lack of control of them."
I don't know,we are a suing culture
I could see that piece of trash trying to squeeze Huerta for some cash.

I most def. can see it but it has to be a hell of a blow to
an ego to be a huge football player and get man handled by 170#’s. What they have to play is if he sues Huerta, the girl sues him. Did they ever find out her name? I though she had remainded annonymous through this whole situation. She owes Huerta some sort of gratitude, maybe a lap dance or something!
"My fault, my failure, is not in the passions I have, but in my lack of control of them."
I agree with Jay! No way in hell he gets in trouble!

Never leave it in the hands of the judges
Do it again, but first train with Gray, he aaallways gets the favourable judges decision ;D

Gray and Pray LW Champion 2011
Do we know he is getting sued?
Maybe the legal matter is the girl suing the dude who knocked her out.

kicking a downed opponent ...
… is not only frowned upon in the UFC, it’s also grounds for felonious assault outside the Octagon. so who cares if he should of or shouldn’t of whooped the dude’s ass. what he shouldn’t have done was committed a felony on camera. that’s the legal issue he’s talking about. gotta be.
yes
but it is also frowned upon to knock out innocent ladies in the street when unprovoked. and of course it is grounds for assault, but this happened in texas so i can see this all getting swept under the rug.
never have any regrets, because at the time, thats all you wanted to do
who said she was innocent?
who’s to say she didn’t bite have of bobo’s cock off inside the club…just saying I’d knock a bitch out for that!
mondaymorningblackbelt.com
if it's true, I'd get some lesbian butch woman to kick her ass for me in return for a six-pack.
But I bet all she did was talk shit to the guy, the guy didn’t like it, so he hit her.
OR
The guy tried to put the moves on her, thinking he’s all hot shit, she tells him to “step”, he gets pissed and goes all Menace-2-Society on her.
really?
weve had this discussion before so i dont want to get into it again and ruffle feathers.
But id smack a bitch around for a lot less then bititng my dick off. Id kill her for that.

well if she bit his dick off
he sure did keep some pretty incredible composure. if she talked shit to him and walked away (maybe even did a little girlie slap to his shoulder), then he needs to be a grownup and let her walk away. from the video, a large man knocks out a girl that is half his size while her back is to him. that is the most coward shit ever. it would be like me going out in the street when the ice cream truck comes by and cold cocking some little kid while he trys to buy a sour cherry tear jerker ice cream bar because he threw a rock at my house.

mmmmm i love those

Is there any other issue?

Never was much of a fan of Rogers, but
I can’t help but like him now. Now I’d like to see him back in the mix in the UFC.
I liked Roger before this now I love him. He may get charged with assault and battery with a dangerous weapon (a shod foot). I hope not.
I would have rather seen him drop down and arm bar the arm that threw the punch at the girl. Make it break and then move on. That would seem more appropriate and would have avoided the deadly weapon charge.
it would be the same thing
u think breaking an arm is in any way better than stomping his face?

Probably worse.

A brain is more precious that an arm.
I have two strong arms but half a brain and life is very difficult.

But it doesn't take any skill to jump on someone's face.
If he’s out there using jits to break peoples arms….It looks worse to a jury, IMO.

It's something he's trained to do. Same as a black belt kicking someone in the face, people get crazy when they read "karate black belt round houses innocent man" in the paper. Know what I mean?

The last thing I want to do is be on the ground in a street fight
too easy to get kicked in the head by your enemies friends who are standing around getting hyped up by their boy losing.
In a street fight I want to stay on my feet and keep moving because no fight is fair and friends will jump in. I love Krav Maga for this very reason, take them out early by hitting vital organs and be ready for the next attacker coming in.

Reproductive male organs are not vital per se but sure can hurt like a bitch.
In a self-defense situation, one should not hesitate to smash some.

definitely, a well placed kick or punch down there has saved many from serious danger
BJ Penn is the biggest waste of talent in MMA history. Like usual, my pick was wrong and I blame a certain pudgy Hawaiin for my own short comings when it comes to talent selection. As it stands BZ – 3 Freenow82 – 1.
Roger Huerta
This a guy who left the UFC after being groom for stardom,and on a losing streak.Bellator brought him in for big money and he loss his first fight.Now he gets into a streetfight and now he’s fighting the Lightweight Champion Eddie Alvarez.Only in America…

Roger needs to lay low and stay quiet
Just watch the TMZ interview…if you have to speak that tentatively you shouldn’t be speaking at all.
stupid N*** got what he deserved
roger got some sort of justice for the woman…or else that bitch N*** would of got away. police take forever. Roger Stepped up when no one else would :)
God is too big for just one religion...
I bet you are probably more Jack Osbourne than Jason Bourne.
Yes the guy was stupid and is a bitch, but theres was no need for the rest. Try saying that to someones face instead coming out with that shit sitting comfortably behind your keyboard.
