Conor McGregor Scuffles With Machine Gun Kelly On VMA Red Carpet

UFC star Conor McGregor appeared to want a piece of Machine Gun Kelly during a red carpet incident at the MTV Video Music Awards on Sunday night.

Footage shows McGregor throwing a drink in the direction of Kelly and his girlfriend, actor Megan Fox , as several people move to hold the MMA fighter back.

TMZ reported McGregor wanted a photo with Kelly, stuck out his hand to say hello, and was pushed back by the rappers team. McGregor was surprised by how he was treated, according to the outlet.

A representative for McGregor told People he did not want a photo. McGregor laughed off the incident when asked about it by Entertainment Tonight , saying he didnt know what happened.

I dont even know the guy, to be honest with you, McGregor said. Nothing happened with me. I only fight real fighters, people that actually fight, you know what I mean. I certainly dont fight little Vanilla Ice boy rappers.

He said he doesnt know anything about Kelly except that hes with Megan Fox.

Kelly didnt have much to say about the incident:

McGregor had been walking with a cane after surgery due to a gruesome leg injury suffered in a fight in July, but dropped it during the clash with Kelly.

He got his cane back, and everyone went inside without further incident.

Kelly was at the event to perform, and also picked up a VMA for best alternative video for my exs best friend. McGregor was there to present an award to Justin Bieber .

The commotion before the show was caught on camera from several angles, in both still photos and video:
