"They scuffled then it settled down and Conor went for him again," a source told the gossip page.

A rep for McGregor denied a fight occurred, according to Page Six. And MGK’s reps didn’t immediately respond for comment.

McGregor is two months removed from suffering a gruesome leg injury during his fight with Dustin Poirier and since then gone on multiple rants against Poirier and other UFC fighters.
He’s recently been rehabbing the injury but was still expected to miss some time before getting back into the Octagon. He was spotted with a cane on the red carpet.
