Machine Gun Kelly fans claim VMA brawl with Conor McGregor was FAKE and staged to set up future big money fight
MACHINE Gun Kelly fans claimed that the VMA fight with Conor McGregor was staged to promote a new big-money fight.
On Sunday night, the rap and punk pop star and the UFC fighter came close to blows on the red carpet of the MTV Video Music Awards.
Reports suggested that , 33, had been with the musician and Megan, and tempers got out of control.
The UFC fighter threw his drink at MGK and the brunette bombshell before throwing his fists and being held back by security.
Conor was reportedly escorted out of the venue as the red carpet walk-through continued, but made it back in time for the start of the ceremony.
NOT REAL?
But fans are certain that the brawl was fake and staged for the cameras in order for Conor to advertise an upcoming big money fight.
Taking to Twitter, one speculated: "If anyone doesn't think Conor v MGK wasn't a planned publicity stunt... Both guys desperate to keep relevant."
"It's fake. MGK goes to loads of UFC events before he got with Megan so Conor is clearly lying about not knowing him. Planned 100%," said another.
Another third in: "All a set up for another fake fight to milk people into buying PPV," as a fourth wrote, "Staged just to grab the limelight."
Megan appeared to be wearing an engagement ring while supporting the musician as he prepared for the awards show.
Megan and MGK were believed to be an item back in May of 2020, while they publicly confirmed their relationship the following month.
The couple had met on the set of their thriller Midnight in the Switchgrass.
The former couple shares three sons together: Noah, eight, Bodhi, seven, and Journey, five.
ROAD TO RECOVERY
Meanwhile, Conor has been currently nursing the broken tibia he suffered in the first round of his trilogy bout with , 32.
He had undergone successful surgery and already started training once again for his return, where he has vowed to win UFC gold again.
