A UFC-style brawl broke out in a bar between fans after UFC 194’s main event between Conor McGregor and Jose Aldo.
A video posted to Facebook, captured at Ringwood’s Manhattan Hotel on Canterbury Road, shows attendees at the venue watching on as two men initially go toe-to-toe.
The disturbing video shows a man in a hoodie taking a swing at another bar patron – who tells his friend to “hold my bag” before he throws a punch.
As the violence escalates, another man is knocked to the ground.
Many other fights break out in the room.
It is not clear what sparked the massive UFC-style brawl, which is believed to have occurred after Conor McGregor KO’d Jose Aldo in the main event of UFC 194.
Security is nowhere to be seen.
More fights then appear to break out across the room, with tables and chairs crashing to the floor, with security seemingly still nowhere in sight after almost 90 seconds.
One man appears to attempt to take control of the situation, stepping into the middle of the groups and yelling stop, but it’s to no avail.
The man who filmed it said on Facebook: I didn’t get an invite for the fight so I just filmed it, it lasted way longer than the main event fight.
Several police units showed up at the hotel following reports of a brawl both inside the bar and in the parking lot.
A Victoria Police spokesman said that a number of those involved had left the premises by the time police had arrived, with no remaining patrons wanting to make a complaint. [source : irishmirror.ie href=”http://www.irishmirror.ie/news/weird-news/watch-brawl-break-out-australian-7010513″%5D
“Scarface” and “Notorious” finally met in the Octagon after months of trash talk, but the Brazilian wasn’t able to do anything in the fight, as McGregor countered his first attack with a vicious left hand that dropped Aldo out cold.
Speaking with the media last week in Rio de Janeiro, the former 145-pound champion said he doesn’t regret anything he has done before, during or after the contest.
“Nothing, man. Nothing. It’s actually good to talk about this,” Aldo said. “Everybody said I rushed, that I was too hasty when I decided to attack him. But I already won in seven seconds before, how did I rush now? I went to do something traditional in a fight between a right-handed and a southpaw. I threw a hand in his chest and a cross on top.
“He had done two attacks before and I went for a normal attack. He had the merit to land a good punch, but I didn’t rush anything or was angry. [Source: mmafighting.com]
