Oh hell, since this happened in Texas, Roger Huerta may be given a ticket for not implementing the "Citizen's Death Penalty", it's a way for Texas to streamline their process! I think the ticket is only $150 or so! :D

Police could look the other way figuring justice was served, going as far as telling the thug if he wanted to press charges then he'd also be facing assault and domestic violence charges himself. Although, we don't know if police had this video at the time or not.

But, seeing as how this is America, it would not surprise me in the least to see a civil suit against Roger from this dude. If the guy goes in and files assault charges, with the video I'd think they have to arrest Roger.

I'd also agree it's pretty ridiculous, even if admirable, that he went after the guy. No need to become a vigilante and I can't condone it. He's lucky someone didn't pull out a gun and start shooting with a crowd of people around. Pretty damn irresponsible.

I think what really helps Roger is that he didn't jump the guy, the guy actually squares off to face him then everyone converges and you really don't see but the end result. It would even be hard to prove with that many people converging that it was only Roger doing the beating even though I am positive it was. The video quality is horrible, I personally don't think anything will happen to Huerta criminally but yes possibly civil but I don't think that goes far either, just my opinion.

you never ever raise your hand to a woman.

Not a huge UFC fan, but good for that guy

Well, he can be seen chasing after the guy, and then there's the photo of him stomping the guy. Criminally, he'd be up shit creek if they wanted to charge him, although without a complainant video is probably not enough. Civilly, I can't imagine a Texas jury (or any jury, for that matter) siding with this guy even though Huerta is clearly in the wrong here - the award would be of the $1 variety.

I'd guess the dude who cowardly hit the woman won't press any charges because he could just as easily have charges pressed against him (gut already mentioned this) for sucker punching a woman. At least he had a chance to square off with a fella probably 50 lbs lighter than him. Sometimes we make mistakes and have to pay for them. I'm guessing this will be one of those cases. I mean, what kind of man would go to the law for help after there is a video of him punching a woman from behind? I wouldn't want anyone to know I did such a thing so I'd let the whole thing drop ASAP.

I am actually surprised this isn't getting more press. Nothing in Yahoo, ESPN, MMAJunkie or most news outlets outside TMZ and a few mma sites.

That's because all available reporters are already assigned to the Favre retirement saga...

And that may be why we haven't heard anything from Roger himself or any other major sports/news sites!!!! I guess more to come. After looking at the photo more closely on the freeze frame, it does not look like Huerta actually now. I did notice the other shirtless guy at the end of the video and even thought to myself where did Roger go??? This may just be the case. I don't think there is any doubt though unless they shopped the tattoo in, Roger was the one initially squaring off with the guy but because so many people converge in (and I said this in an earlier post) there is no way to tell from that point who was fighting and what went down until the man is laying bloody in the street.

Couldn't huerta be charged with attempted murder if that is him stomping on the guy? That is taking it way, way too far IMO.

If you're a professional mixed martial artist, dont you get in more trouble then the average joe for physically harming someone. Since you're trained to do so? Or is that completely wrong

Any man that hits a woman is a coward. Roger let him off easy.

Read those two links posted a few posts above it may not have been Roger that did the head stomp but he did whoop the guys ass for sure:
"I just don’t think that it's right to hit a woman. Period," Huerta told TMZ.

"I approached the man calmly and said, 'Do you know what you just did? You just knocked out this girl.'

But Huerta claims the other guy responded, "[Expletive] you, [expletive] these bitches, I'll knock out any [expletive] bitch that I wanna [expletive] knock out, I’ll knock your [expletive] bitch ass out."

Huerta added, "... and as he's saying this, he's taking off his shirt ... and at that point I was like, alright.' I got the better of him and I left," Huerta said.

The 27-year-old explained, "If 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."

There is no taking it "too far" for someone that sucker punch ko's a woman. Like I said earlier, I'd have applauded Roger even if he killed the guy.

Although it's looking now like someone else was the one that curb stomped the guy. Good for whoever that is, and good for Roger for stepping in. I'd hope any guy with a set of balls would do the same.

You can't condone it? So people should just let it happen? Someone needs to stand up to the trash in society, and I for one am glad he did.

I really hope the police don't decide to go after Huerta, especially if they don't decide to go after the other guy as well. If and the video is not clear IF it was Roger that did the head stomp when the guy was already done and down it is NO DIFFERENT THAN THAT ASSHOLE SUCKER PUNCHING A WOMAN FROM BEHIND LET ALONE HITTING THE WOMAN AT ALL!!! I'm done yelling now!
