The New York Post reported that the fight may have started after McGregor threw a drink on Kelly:
Our source added that McGregor allegedly threw his drink at Kelly and then the fight broke out.
“They scuffled then it settled down and Connor went for him again,” the source said, adding, that the photographers “weren’t happy” and were “saying they were going to boycott Connor because they were worried MGK and Megan wouldn’t walk.”
It wasn’t immediately clear what the squabble was over but McGregor’s rep denied that the fight occurred despite the photo evidence.
“Conor only fights fighters,” his rep told Page Six in a statement.
