While Davis and Garcia were still in the middle of their fight, Peeples ran into an altercation in the crowd. Footage has shown how Peeples interrupted the fight causing the referee, Davis, and Garcia a distraction by his behavior outside the ring.

Luckily, Peeples’ behavior did not entirely go out of hand, potentially, putting a complete halt to the ongoing event in the ring.
