Ex-UFC Star in Bloody Street Fight Caught on Tape

Published | Updated

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."

Foxy Brown Flees After NYC Brawl

TMZ has learned Foxy Brown was in the middle of massive brawl tonight in the lobby of a New York City apartment building -- and she narrowly missed her second run-in with cops in just over a week.

Witnesses say Foxy was visiting someone at a luxury high-rise on 43rd Street when the fight broke out. A source tells us that Foxy was throwing down with several people in the lobby. It's unclear at this point what sparked the brawl.

Published | Updated

TMZ has learned ... the bouncer who viciously choked out Greg the Barber in front of an L.A. nightclub last week was fired on Saturday -- one day after the incident took place.

Here's the **SPOILER**

Turns out -- the whole thing was set up ... and not just the fighting. The "Amazing Racist" is just an "act" that comedian Ari Shaffir does in order to "film people's reactions."

Sammi on 'Jersey Shore' Stay Out of Miami

Published | Updated

Sammi from "Jersey Shore" is officially in the clear after allegedly popping a girl twice in the face at a Miami club last month -- but it's only because she got the hell out of Dodge in the nick of time.

The Miami-Dade State Attorney's Office tells TMZ, the case of Sammi's fists of fury is closed -- because "as a matter of policy, we do not file charges involving misdemeanor crimes when the accused is beyond [our] jurisdiction."

But here's the rub ... if Sammi ever shows her face in Miami again, she could face battery charges.

According to the State Attorney, "This case could be revisited if and when the accused returns."

As if Miami needed a reason not to want her back.
