On September 12, local time, the MTV VMA 2021 Video Music Awards Gala was held at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York.
"Mouth Cannon" Conor McGregor asked the popular American hip-hop singer MGK to take a group photo on the red carpet, but the other party refused and pushed him and spilled his drink.
McGregor immediately threw his glass at each other, and the two sides immediately clashed, and the scene almost got out of control.
McGregor, 33, attended the evening's awards gala with his fiancée Devline at barclays Center in Brooklyn on Sept. 12.
McGregor greeted MGK warmly with a drink, and MGK was with his girlfriend, Megan Fox, who said he wanted to take a photo with him.
But what he did not expect was that his request was rejected by the other party, and he pushed him and spilled his drink, and McGregor immediately became angry and directly smashed the remaining drink with the cup to MGK.
The two then scolded each other, and McGregor waved his fist to beat MGK violently, but fortunately the security guard stopped it in time, and the two sides almost fought in a very chaotic scene.
It was all documented by photojournalists at the scene, and the video of the clash between the two went viral on personal social media, reportedly having more than 1.6 million views on Twitte at once, and some even suspected that McGregor was deliberately hyping it up.
A witness at the scene said: "The two had a fierce conflict, but when the conflict subsided, McGregor did not understand the hatred and went to MGK to settle the account."
Another person said: "McGregor was ready to beat MGK violently, and the security guards couldn't stop it." ”
But afterwards McGregor denied everything that had just happened, saying in an interview with ET that nothing had happened and that he didn't even know who MGK was.
McGregor said: "Absolutely none of that happened, I don't know anything. I've just come here and I don't know anything about what you're saying. Honestly, I don't even know who that person is. ”
When asked by reporters if the melee between McGregor and MGK was real-time, he said that as a boxer, he would only fight between real boxers.
McGregor said: "It was all rumors, nothing happened. I'm only going to play against real boxers, opponents who really know how to fight, and obviously I'm not going to fight with a rapper. I don't even know the guy. I didn't know anything about him, only that he was with Megan Fox. ”
UFC264 McGregor and Diamond Dustin Poirlier unfortunately broke his calf in a three-pronged battle, and now he has simply resumed training and is ready to return to UFC later.
