In the middle of all the excitement at UFC Fight Night in Mexico City, things took a bad turn during the main event. A fight broke out in the crowd, and one fan ended up knocked out cold.
As the main fight was happening on Saturday night, chaos erupted among the people watching. A video went viral showing a guy in a black T-shirt punching two others, knocking them down.
Dana White Reacts to Mass Crowd UFC Mexico Brawl
What’s surprising is that there didn’t seem to be any security around to stop the fight. UFC boss Dana White said afterward, “When that fight broke out, it felt like it kept going forever. I was waiting for security to come in. They just let them go until it was over.”
When asked if this reflected badly on the UFC, White brushed it off, saying, “I’ve never seen anything like that in my life. I don’t think it’s a bad look for the UFC. It happened, and that was the end of that.”
While this kind of thing doesn’t happen often, there have been incidents before. Remember when Khabib Nurmagomedov jumped into the crowd after fighting Conor McGregor? It’s not the first time.
The Main Event
The event in Mexico City was the sixth UFC event there. Brandon Moreno and Brandon Royval headlined the night, with Moreno losing by decision. In the co-main event, Yair Rodriguez faced Brian Ortega, with Ortega winning by submission.
Despite the fights in the Octagon, what people might remember most from this event is the fight in the crowd. It’s a reminder that live events can get out of hand and that security is crucial.
In summary, UFC Fight Night in Mexico City had its share of excitement, but the brawl in the crowd might overshadow it. It’s a lesson in the importance of keeping things safe for everyone involved.
