Following his injury at UFC 264, Conor McGregor made a triumphant appearance at the MTV VMAs, proudly displaying the progress of his recovery while relying on a cane to walk the red carpet. As expected from someone bearing the moniker “Notorious,” McGregor’s presence didn’t go unnoticed, and soon enough, a commotion ensued when he allegedly got into a confrontation with musician Machine Gun Kelly.
According to reports, Conor approached Machine Gun Kelly and his partner, actress Megan Fox, seeking a photo. However, tensions escalated when Kelly declined the request, leading to a scuffle where McGregor reportedly threw his drink at both Kelly and Fox. Security quickly intervened, escorting Conor away from the situation.
What happened between Conor McGregor and Machine Gun Kelly?
Despite the altercation, Machine Gun Kelly chose not to address the incident with reporters for the remainder of the evening. On the other hand, Conor McGregor, who attended the event to present an award, spoke to Entertainment Tonight and downplayed the situation, stating that “absolutely nothing” had occurred.

“I just showed up… I don’t even know the guy, to be honest,” he said, calling reports of a fight “just rumors.”
“Nothing happened with me,” he continued. “I only fight real fighters, people that actually fight, you know what I mean? I certainly don’t fight little Vanilla Ice boy rappers… I don’t even know the guy, I don’t know anything about him, except that he’s with Megan Fox.”

Although Conor McGregor may insist that “nothing happened,” photographic evidence from the event tells a different story. Images have surfaced showing a physical altercation taking place, with McGregor seemingly attempting to throw a punch at MGK, even though Megan Fox, who is rumored to be pregnant, was standing between them. The photos suggest that there was indeed a heated incident at the event.

Conor McGregor has once again sparked controversy with rapper Machine Gun Kelly as he engaged in a brief but taunting exchange on Twitter, only to swiftly delete the mocking post about the musician.
The Irishman’s “tweet and delete” tendencies are notorious, as he has a history of posting abrasive messages aimed at rivals and then promptly removing them after the intended impact. This pattern of behavior has seen him take jabs at various prominent figures, including his former teammate Artem Lobov and YouTube star True Geordie, and now, it seems, Machine Gun Kelly is the latest target of his online banter.
At the 2021 MTV Video Music Awards, Conor McGregor and MGK (Colson Baker) found themselves in an intense altercation that left many bewildered, as the reason behind the clash remains unexplained. Recently, McGregor targeted the hit-maker once more in a brief tweet that quickly disappeared after a few minutes. The ongoing feud between the two continues to raise eyebrows and leaves fans curious about its origins.
