Video | Insane crowd brawl breaks out at UFC Mexico City
A massive crowd brawl broke out during UFC Mexico City, and Dana White has given his reaction.
UFC Mexico City featuring two pivotal matchups at the top of the marquee. Fans witnessed Brandon Royval get a measure of revenge on Brandon Moreno, defeating him via split decision in the main even. In the co-headliner, Brian Ortega submitted Yair Rodriguez after having a dicey opening round.
Oh, and there was also one of the most wild UFC crowd brawls to date.

Once UFC Mexico City wrapped up, Dana White was asked about the fan brawl during the post-fight press conference. White couldn’t believe what transpired (h/t MMAJunkie).
“The fight in the crowd doesn’t look good for the UFC? That never happens. That literally never happens,” White said. “It happened here in Mexico City. The crazy thing about that fight, when that fight broke out, it felt like it kept going forever. So I ran over there and was watching it. Nobody stopped it. I was waiting for security to come in. They just let them go until it was over.
“That was one of the craziest things I’ve ever seen. I don’t think it’s a bad look for the UFC. It happened and that was the end of that. I think after everybody saw the end of that sh*t, nobody else wanted to try that again. No security. The fight just went on until it was over. I’ve never seen any sh*t like that in my life.”
No word on whether or not the fan who scored the double knockdown received a “Fight of the Night” bonus.
