Conor McGregor is one of the biggest names in sports. ‘The Notorious’ boasts a huge following and is extremely well known. Therefore, it comes as no surprise that McGregor was in attendance for the recent VMAs that took place at the Barclays Center in New York.
However, for McGregor, the event was not all smooth sailing. Recent videos and reports suggest McGregor got into an altercation with Colson Baker aka ‘Machine Gun Kelly’ the famous American rapper.
Allegedly, the incident took place when McGregor walked towards ‘MGK’ for a photo. Baker declined to take a photo with ‘The Notorious’ which resulted in a heated exchange of words between the two men. Baker eventually pushed Conor McGregor, causing him to stumble backward and spill his drink.

McGregor was an astute martial artist and never found himself in any kind of controversy outside the ring. However, lately, McGregor’s performances inside the ring have not been at the same level as they used to be. Also, McGregor is increasingly finding himself in situations he’d much avoid. The altercation with Machine Gun Kelly adds to a growing list of misdemeanors committed by ‘The Notorious’.
‘The Notorious’ has been out of action since his loss to Dustin Poirier in July this year. The Irishman is nursing a fracture that will keep him out of action for the better part of 2022 as well.
