It turns out McGregor asked MGK (born Colson Baker) for a photo, but the Bloody Valentine star shot him down, which didn’t go over too well with the former UFC champion, according to TMZ.
Words were exchanged and the situation escalated to the point where Kelly pushed McGregor, who then stumbled back and spilled his drink.
Mind you, the Irish fighter is walking with a cane as he recovers from a broken tibia bone that he suffered in his last bout with Dustin Poirier on July 10 at UFC 264.
