Footage has emerged this afternoon of former two-weight UFC champion, Conor McGregor involved in a near-altercation with a fan at a BKFC event overnight in Dubai, in which the latter attempted to attack the Dubliner before he was subdued by his security officials.

McGregor, a former two-weight champion in the promotion, has been sidelined from competition since 2021, most recently fracturing his tibia and fibula in a first round doctor’s stoppage TKO loss to Dustin Poirier.
