“At about 11.30pm we got a call for shots being fired from a bar across the street. Officers arrived on the scene and what they found was that eight people had been shot from the bar across the street,” Chief McManus said.

“One of the two males then made a statement that, ‘Don’t you know who I am? I’m a UFC fighter from California’ — and they walked away.

“He then walked back to his car, pulled out a long rifle, walked back across the street and he opened fire.

“He hit eight individuals. None of them are deceased. They are in stable condition. The most serious one was one that was hit in the back.”

Of the 8 victims, 5 were women and 3 were men. No one was mortally wounded while 2 only suffered grazes and declined hospital treatment.

Like most combat sports enthusiasts, his passion for watching people fight began with WWE when he witnessed a young Brock Lesnar massacre Hulk Hogan back in 2002. This very passion soon branched out to boxing and mixed martial arts. Over the years he fell in love with the theatrics that preceded the bell and the poetic carnage that followed after. Each bruise a story to tell, each wound a song of struggle, his greatest desire is to be there to witness it all. His favorite wrestler is Shawn Michaels and he believes that GSP is the greatest to ever step foot inside the octagon. Apart from wrestling, he is also fond of poetry and music.
