Florida man arrested for firing gun during mass brawl at MMA event

Chaos erupted at an amateur MMA event in Lake Worth Beach, Fl back in March. The event, put on by RIZE Fighting championships, went off the rails when fighting broke out within the small crowd. That fighting soon grew into a mass brawl involving dozens of people. Then, someone pulled out a gun and fired a shot in the air. That lead to a stampede as panicked patrons either hid in place or swarmed for the nearest exit.

According to NBC Miami Antonio Montes De Oca Hernandez, 56, has been arrested on suspicion of being the individual who fired the gun that night.
