Conor McGregor & Machine Gun Kelly Gets Into Heated Altercation at MTV VMAs 2021

Conor McGregor and Machine Gun Kelly go at each other at the MTV VMAs 2021.

MTV VMAs 2021 aired earlier tonight at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York. The annual Video Music Awards was hosted by Doja Cat. Before the show started, a Scuffle happened between MMA Fighter Conor McGregor and rapper turned pop-funk artist Machine Gun Kelly. The popular Irish fighter was invited to the show, along with his longtime partner Dee Devlin.

According to TMZ, Conor wanted to say hello to Machine Gun, as he walked up to the singer with his hand out. Reports say that MGK said something to McGregor which he couldn’t hear, after that Kelly’s security pushed the MMA fighter away. Some sources say that Conor wanted to have a picture with the Cleveland artist, which he refused and then things escalated from there. Machine Gun Kelly pushed Conor away, who stumbled back and spilled his drink. Then Conor threw half the drink at Machine Gun as well his girlfriend Megan Fox.

Things started to get ugly at the Red Carpet and both of them had to be stopped by their respective teams. Pagesix sources state that “They scuffled then it settled down and Conor went for him again, [McGregor] was ready to throw fists. Security was having trouble holding him back.” Even after the clips and images emerged, the McGregor team denied that the altercation happened. “Conor only fights fighters,” they said. It’s still unclear what was the actual reason behind the heated scuffle between the two.

There appears to be no past conflict between MGK and McGregor, and the singer was even photographed attending his UFC 260 bout in Los Vegas with Fox, Kourtney Kardashian, and Travis Barker in March.

Conor McGregor later had an interview with ET’s Rachel Smith where he addressed the whole drama. “Absolutely nothing. I don’t know. He showed up, and I don’t know. I don’t know the guy,” said Conor. “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.”

McGregor was seen walking with a cane throughout the night because of the fractured leg he received in his previous bout. Later, the MMA fighter delivered the Artist of the Year award, and Machine Gun Kelly performed his song “Papercuts” at the close of the program.

Meanwhile, Machine Gun Kelly and black bear won the Best Alternative with their video for “my ex’s best friend.”
