Why Did Conor McGregor Throw a Drink at MGK?

Machine Gun Kelly and Megan Fox wowed on the red carpet with their outfits and began trending on Twitter on September 12, 2021. During the night’s events, a scuffle broke out between Conor McGregor and the “Rap Devil” artist. If you’re asking why a pro-fighter was present at the Video Music Awards, it’s because Conor is a good friend of Justin Bieber.

McGregor was tasked with handing out the “Artist of the Year” award to The Biebs, but early on in the night, he was seen being held back by an event security guard as he tossed a drink at The Dirt star.

Apparently, the altercation started when Conor, excited to meet MGK, approached him for a handshake and picture. MGK’s guards pushed Conor away.

Conor, who was using a cane to help himself walk due to a broken foot after his second consecutive MMA loss to Dustin Poirier, spilled his drink and dropped his walking stick after being rebuffed by MGK’s protective detail.

That’s what prompted Conor to toss his drink at MGK. The former UFC featherweight/lightweight champion then followed up with a swing in MGK’s direction, but was quelled by security once again.

Several individuals managed to get video footage of the altercation, and various angles of the incident began popping up on social media. In many of the photographs and clips, MGK seems perplexed by the entire situation as Conor seethed at the sequence of events.
