UFC middleweights Brendan Allen and Marvin Vettori recently got into a tussle inside the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Hollywood, Fla.

The unscheduled bout took place shortly after the two watched Friday’s Professional Fighters League (PFL) match in the casino’s Hard Rock Live arena.

Vettori, 30, of Italy, initially attempted to punch UFC light heavyweight Tuco Tokkos, according to a report from MMA Mania. Allen, 28, of South Carolina, and Vettori then got into a struggle and repeatedly threw punches, including a few blows to each other’s face.

Fell Onto Roulette Table

At one point, Vettori appears to have fallen onto a roulette table, according to news reports.

The violent outburst attracted a large crowd of onlookers, many of whom recorded the exchange on their cell phone cameras.

Neither of the fighters suffered significant injuries, according to news reports, and no arrests were made.

Here’s one summary of the night’s incident.

Vettori tried to swing at Tuco Tokkos and missed. Michael Johnson then moved everyone out of the way and then Brendan Allen stepped in and hit Vettori with a 1-2, which made him fall into a roulette table,” MMA Mania reported.

The fight later was commented on by Las Vegas-based UFC CEO Dana White, who said on X, it “had to be [the] fight of the night if it was at PFL.”

Later on Friday night, Vettori said in a social media post, “One armed Vettori is unbeaten. Ain’t never missing s**t.”

“Basically he gets popped right on the spot then hide behind his guys get popped again in the chaos then 10 people in between and I think its over they let him he rushes me get caught again in the end All of this one armed Proper sucker,” Vettori added.

Prior Bout Canceled

Allen and Vettori had been scheduled to fight at April’s UFC 240 before Vettori suffered an injury and had to cancel, MMA Junkie reported.

Instead of fighting Vettori, Allen fought Chris Curtis. Allen won by a split decision.

Vettori decided to lambast him in a social media post.

“Allen wtf u calling for the title man you look like dog s**t got rocked every single round and prayed you were getting the takedown just to hang in there. That s**t was embarrassing.”
