Conor McGregor and Megan Fox: The legendary red carpet brawl that resulted from the UFC fighter’s allegedly abusive DMs

Conor McGregor’s fame isn’t just limited to the octagon, The Notorious has achieved a fame that transcends the fight fan community. McGregor, the celebrity he has become, is seen with various other celebrities from the entertainment world.

Back in September 2021, Conor McGregor was involved in a strange scuffle when he had a fairly physical altercation with American rapper Colson Baker, known as Machine Gun Kelly. The MTV Video Music Awards are held each year to recognize and recognize the very best in the music video medium. At the 2021 VMAs, UFC superstar Conor McGregor was invited to present one of the awards he agreed to and attended the event in a shiny pink suit alongside his partner Dee Devlin.

The night soon turned a bit ugly for McGregor as he immediately got into a fight with MGK, which was reportedly started by the American rapper. There are still some doubts as to what prompted the altercation. Some suggest that McGregor was the one who asked for a picture with Megan Fox, which her partner MGK refused, and hence McGregor lashed out at the rapper.

Another theory about the incident is that MGK was the one who reached out to McGregor because he allegedly sent some offensive direct messages to Fox. It’s been almost a year and a half since that incident, and neither McGregor nor MGK have really spoken openly about the altercation. Despite being asked about the incident shortly after the event, McGregor replied: “Nothing happened to me,” he said. “I only fight real fighters. people who really fight. I’m certainly not fighting little white rappers from Vanilla Ice. I don’t even know the guy, don’t know anything about him other than that he’s dating Megan Fox.”

When will Conor McGregor enter the octagon again?

After a nearly two-year hiatus due to a nasty leg injury sustained at UFC 264 in July 2021, “The Notorious” will finally face “Iron” Mike Chandler in the second half of this year. Chandler and McGregor have previously met as trainers in the latest installment of The Ultimate Fighter, which airs May 15 on ESPN.

It would be interesting to see if McGregor is able to bring back his glory days after being away from the fighting game for so long.
