UFC president Dana White has clarified a shooting incident that took place in ‘REBAR’ bar in San Antonio which allegedly may have involved a UFC fighter.
On June 14, five women and three men were injured in a shooting incident at a bar in San Antonio after a shooter was denied entry to a bar. The shooter was a part of the group that wasn’t allowed inside the bar because they were “inebriated”.
After being denied entry, one of the guys from the group said, “Don’t you know who I am? I’m a UFC fighter from California.”
San Antonio police chief, William McManus, said during a brief that the police is still looking for the suspects. He also stated that there were no fatalities during this incident and all the injured people are recovering and in stable conditions.
The police also said that after being denied entry, the shooter went back to his car to grab a long rifle and started shooting people.
“They are all in stable condition, the most serious was someone was hit in the back,” McManus said.

“If you don’t think that I heard about that one at 7 a.m. this morning. You know what I mean? I hope it’s not true,” Dana White told reporters after Saturday night’s UFC on ESPN 10 event in Las Vegas.
