Luckily, security guards and award staff managed to separate the two before blood spilled.

But why were the two at odds in the first place?

Per the outlet, it all started with a photo request.

And, let’s just say the boxer didn’t take that answer too well.

Next thing cameras knew McGregor is swinging his cane towards the rapper.

He also allegedly threw his drinks at the “Bird Box” actor as well, perPage Six.

PerPeople, the two were never at odds before.

Machine Gun Kelly even showed up at Conor McGregor’s latest fight with his girlfriend in March.

So, how can McGregor get so angry over something so simple like a photo?

And, that’s not even the weirdest part.

Despite photo evidence, McGregor’s team has repeatedly denied such an altercation took place, perPage Six.

“Conor only fights fighters,” a member of his team told the outlet.

Well, whatever the case, both parties have forgotten the scuffle, according to People.

Conor appreciates all his fans."
