UFC Event Disrupted by Brawl at Madison Square Garden

On Sunday morning, Madison Square Garden was thrown into disarray following a violent confrontation among UFC fighters during a break between bouts. The incident disrupted the event and drew global attention from viewers.
According to videos shared on social media, the altercation began when a casual discussion between Dillon Danis and several members of Islam Makhachev and Khabib Nurmagomedov's teams quickly escalated into a physical fight, leaving the audience in disbelief as the chaos unfolded near the cage.
Footage captured fighter Magomed Zainukov intervening, delivering punches towards Danis, while Abubakar Nurmagomedov also became involved before security personnel separated the fighters in an effort to restore order.
Efforts to Manage the Situation
UFC Chief Operating Officer Hunter Campbell personally attempted to de-escalate the situation, but tensions flared again as members from both sides tried to breach barriers to rejoin the fray.
As the situation spiraled out of control, police were called in swiftly after several fighters attempted to approach the cage, while the audience reacted with shouts amidst the ongoing turmoil as security worked to quell the confrontations.
Danis at the Center of Controversy
Once again, Dillon Danis found himself at the center of the chaos, as footage showed him grappling with members of Khabib's team near the cage, turning what were supposed to be calm moments between fights into a headline-making incident for the UFC.
