McGregor quarreled with the rapper - VIDEO

Former UFC champion Conor McGregor got caught up in a scandal at the MTV Video Music Awards.

The Irishman approached the famous American rapper Machine Gun Kelly (real name Colson Baker) to take a joint photo, but he refused. McGregor then attacked him.

The rapper pushed Conor, causing him to splash a drink at him.

The guards tried to take the situation under control, but McGregor hit one of the representatives of the security service.

"Nothing happened. I have no idea, I just approached him. I don't even know this guy, it's just a rumor. Nothing happened, I only fight real fighters, people who know how to fight.

I do not fight with the little white rappers of Vanilla Ice. I know nothing about this guy except that he came with Megan Fox," McGregor told reporters.
