Footage also taken from the scene shows Conor throwing some of his beverages during the altercation on the red carpet.

Conor said absolutely nothing’ happened and he didn’t know Kelly whom he labeled a ‘vanilla boy rapper’.

“I don’t know. He showed up, and I don’t know. I don’t know the guy. Nothing happened with me, I only fight real fighters, people that actually fight, you know what I mean?

“I certainly don’t fight little vanilla boy rappers. I don’t even know the guy. I don’t know anything about him, except that he’s with Megan Fox,” said McGregor.

Conor who suffered an injury during his last UFC fight against Dustin Poirier in July appeared to have thrown away his walking aid during the altercation.

Kelly later wowed the audience during the ceremony when he performed with Blink 182 drummer Travis Barker.
