Mass brawl in the UFC! Khamzat Chimaev and Kevin Holland had a big fight at the press conference

The UFC had a press conference scheduled before UFC 279, but it had to be cancelled. The reason was a mass brawl provoked by Khamzat Chimaev, who was supposed to attack his opponent Kevin Holland.

The big press conference before the UFC 279 tournament was cancelled. The reason was a mass brawl provoked by the Swedish fighter with Russian origin Khamzat Chimaev.

He attacked his opponent Kevin Holland after a verbal exchange, who accused him of only playing dude when he sees the cameras. Chimaev shoved him and a melee ensued.

“There were multiple things going on at once. It wasn’t just one thing that broke out and happened. It was multiple things happening at the same time. There was security at one place, but maybe not at another place where there was another argument going on.

There was no security because everybody was dealing with another thing and once it all blew up, it was literally hell. When you know you’ve got guys who don’t like each other, you make sure they’re isolated, you’ve got a lot of security around.

But you know what Nate and Khamzat are like, they could have a few words and we have enough people here to handle that. What we didn’t have enough people for was for everyone to start arguing and attacking each other,” Dana White told reporters after the excess.

Of course, even these situations often make for interesting sports. Just think of Conor McGregor’s fight with Khabib Nurmagomedov. The former attacked his bus, the latter entered the cage behind him.
