Rocker Machine Gun Kelly and mixed martial arts superstar Conner McGregor got into an altercation the MTV Video Music Awards at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York on Sunday.
It all went down as Kelly and McGregor were both posing for photographers on the red carpet with their respective partners – Megan Fox and Dee Devlin – by their sides just before the start of the show.
Kelly’s movie star girlfriend Fox was among the people who stepped in between the two would-be fighters, and then wrapped her arms around him as the couple were led off past the growing crowd that had gathered.
Clash! Machine Gun Kelly and Conor McGregor got into an altercation on the red carpet of the MTV Video Music Awards in Brooklyn, New York on Sunday
According to McGregor’s representative, the fighter does not know who Kelly is and insisted that his client wasn’t the one to start the scuffle.
It was first reported that McGregor asked MGK (born Colson Baker) for a photo, but the Bloody Valentine star shot him down, according to TMZ.
However McGregor’s spokesperson has since stated: ‘Conor McGregor did not ask anyone for a picture, nor did he instigate this incident. He does not know Machine Gun Kelly, outside of the fact that he attended Conor’s fight this past July.’
How it all went down: It all started when McGregor asked Kelly for a photo, which the rocker declined, according to TMZ
Denied: MGK’s rejection of the MMA superstar’s photo request didn’t go over to well
Reports have suggested that words were exchanged and the situation escalated to the point where Kelly pushed McGregor, who then stumbled back and spilled his drink.
The Irish fighter is currently walking with a cane as he recovers from a broken tibia bone that he suffered in his last bout with Dustin Poirier on July 10 at UFC 264.
After collecting himself for a brief moment, McGregor threw what was left of his drink at Kelly, which was also in the vicinity of Fox.

Dressed in a pink blazer and black pants, McGregor can be seen shouting and lunging at MGK, who was decked out on a glittery red suit, in photos and videos shot at the scene.
During the clash, Fox stepped in between the two men as they shouted, and kept them separated, along with the help of members from their respective teams and security.
And in the end, the brunette beauty and company were able to break it up just enough to help keep the peace before things got really nasty.
It appears that neither Kelly or McGregor ever landed a punch on the other during the row.
After MKG and Fox were led past the crowd, and things settled down a bit, McGregor was given his walking cane back.
McGregot later told Entertainment Tonight: ‘Absolutely nothing happened. I don’t know. He showed up, and I don’t know. I don’t know the guy.
Nothing happened with me, I only fight real fighters, people that actually fight, you know what I mean? I certainly don’t fight little vanilla boy rappers. I don’t even know the guy. I don’t know anything about him, except that he’s with Megan Fox.’
Before all the drama played out, the former featherweight and lightweight UFC champion soaked in the spotlight of the red carpet with his wife Dee Devlin, who wore a colorful, fitted dress.
While Machine Gun Kelly strutted his rockstar attitude with Fox, who nearly bared it all in a completely see-through dress.
During the ceremony, MGK hit the stage and performed with Blink 182 drummer Travis Barker.
Olivia Rodrigo had the biggest night at the 2021 awards, taking home three Moon Person Awards – but Lil Nas X won the top honor, Video of the Year.
Pop Princess Rodrigo, 18, lead the winners at the ceremony and was awarded the first gong of the night, Song of the Year, before also bagging Best New Artist and Push Performance of the Year.
Lil Nas X took home two awards, Video Of the Year for his hit Montero (Call Me By Your Name) and Best Direction, sharing the award with the video’s co-director Tanu Muino.
Olivia beat out 24kGoldn ft. iann dior – Mood, Bruno Mars, Anderson .Paak, Silk Sonic- Leave The Door Open, BTS – Dynamite, Cardi B ft. Megan Thee Stallion – WAP and Dua Lipa – Levitating, in the Song of the Year category.
Olivia was given the award by a surprise presenter, Jennifer Lopez, who hit the stage in a stunning minidress.
The action-packed night kicked off with performances by Justin Bieber and The Kid Laroi plus Rodrigo before host Doja Cat took to the stage.
She introduced the night’s first presenter, former Video Vanguard Award winner JLo.
‘It feels so good to be here in my hometown for the VMAs. MTV has always been the place to deliver the music and videos that define our generation,’ Lopez said.
She presented the first award of the night, Song of the Year, which was won by Olivia Rodrigo for her hit song drivers license.
PDA: the couple also shared a kiss or two on the red carpet before the melee
