Actress Megan Fox has been a UFC fan for some years now. In fact, she even attended Conor McGregor and Khabib Nurmagomedov’s UFC 229 bout. It was one of the biggest fights and no one would have wanted to miss it. However, once the fight ended, the Dagestani fighter jumped in the crowd to attack McGregor’s friend Dillon Danis.

This resulted in a lot of mayhem amongst the crowd. Fox was a part of the crowd and had to run to safety as well. During a conversation with Arsenio Hall on Jimmy Kimmel Live, Fox spoke about her experience with all the confusion that had happened at UFC 229.

She said, “I was actually at the Conor-Khabib fight a couple of years ago when all of that chaos happened and everyone had to run. We had to like escape when they started jumping the ring. I don’t know if you guys remember that. I see the ring girls start running in like their robes, they’re running and I’m like ‘I better run too if the ring girls are running.”

“So then I started running, and it’s like madness. My agents are with me and I look back and like my agent, Carol is like being knocked to the ground. Her blonde hair is like flying everywhere and I’m like ‘who just knocked Carol over?’ It was Chris Pratt.”

She also said, “Whenever it’s Conor, it’s insane.”
