Jeremiah Wells, the lone fighter from Philadelphia on tonight’s card, didn’t exactly receive a hero’s welcome from the crowd. His opponent, Myktybek Orolbai, looked like the clear fan favorite, with the Kyrgyz fighter receiving a massive pop from the Xfinity Mobile Arena audience while Wells was met with noticeable boos. However, after their welterweight bout ended in a massive upset, the unexpected tension spilled over into an abrupt moment of unrest.

In the prelims, Wells used his boxing to neutralize Orolbai’s wrestling and found plenty of success. The 39-year-old American tagged his opponent multiple times on the feet before ultimately catching Orolbai with a well-timed shot in the third round. Wells then locked in a rare ninja choke to finish the fight at the 1:24 mark.

The outcome was clearly not ideal for the fans, most of whom had come to cheer for Orolbai, with social media reports suggesting that one of his supporters got into a confrontation with a suited man inside the arena, creating a brief moment of unrest among the crowd in the stands.

“Orolbai fans get into it with someone who I can only assume is the mayor of Philadelphia,” Oscar Willis of the Mac Life sarcastically posted on X.
