I feel like the UFC has a disproportionate number of absolute loons, as compared to most sports and the general population. The latest? Irwin Rivera: www.espn.com/mma/ufc/story/_/id/30670643/ufc-fighter-irwin-rivera-arrested-attempted-murder-florida
UFC fighter Irwin Rivera was arrested Thursday on two counts of attempted murder, according to an incident report obtained by ESPN.
He was booked just after noon ET after being apprehended by the Boynton Beach Police Department and is being held without bail, per online jail records.
Boynton Beach Police Department spokesperson Stephanie Slater told ESPN that Rivera is accused of stabbing his two sisters.
Boynton Beach police officers found two women -- one age 22 and the other age 33 -- with multiple stab wounds after being called to a residence, per the incident report. The younger woman had wounds in her back, head and arm. The older had wounds on her back, face, arms and hands and had two collapsed lungs. Both were alive and were rushed to a hospital.

Rivera fled the scene. Police made contact with him at about 7 a.m. ET on Thursday morning and, per the report, Rivera said, "I killed my sisters." According to the report, Rivera told police that he entered his sisters' bedroom while they were sleeping and stabbed them with a "brass knuckle knife." Rivera told police that he believed he had killed his sisters and he did it because it was his purpose, told to him by a "higher power."
