With all the outrageous news generating headlines for all the wrong reasons in 2023, things are off to a heated start for the UFC. Five days into the year, fans have already witnessed several major occurrences involving some prominent UFC figures, including the main man, Dana White, himself. And the undefeated UFC fighter Ilia Topuria is the most recent member of this infamous roster. Recently, the UFC featherweight contender, along with Omar Montes, a well-known Spanish musician, engaged in a violent altercation at the bar. However, the specifics of the incident, such as what triggered this brawl, are still unknown.

At the moment, Topuria is riding high on his most recent victory over Bryce Mitchell, which proudly added another bragging right to his collection. However, the new year didn’t start following the same tune.

Based on the footage that surfaced online, Topuria was jumped on by a person who appeared to arrive out of nowhere. ‘El Matador’ lost his composure in response and proceeded to brutally beat the man up.

UFC has been subject to a lot of such news right off the bat with this new year.
