“This world is just f-cking bananas right now.”

Earlier this week it was reported that a man opened fire at a bar in San Antonio, Texas, after being denied entry because he was too inebriated.

The unidentified man, who reportedly opened fire with a rifle he pulled from his car, claimed to be a UFC fighter.

“Don’t you know who I am? I’m a UFC fighter from California,” the suspect told one of the bouncers.

The news didn’t go unheard by Dana White, who says the story is ‘f-cking crazy.’ The UFC president is hoping the suspect has no affiliation with the UFC whatsoever.

“How f-cking crazy is that sh-t?” White told MMA Fighting at the UFC on ESPN 10 post fight press conference on Saturday. “This world is just f-cking bananas right now.

“Well, 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.”

“I hear that sh-t all the time. You know how many f-cking bald guys in this town walk around and say they’re me? It’s mind boggling.

“If I told you some of these stories, you wouldn’t believe it. It’s just crazy. I’m hoping that’s the case.”

The attacker shot at and injured eight people but all are reportedly in stable condition, according to KTSA. The police are currently investigating the incident and looking to identify the shooter through video surveillance.
