Brendan Allen and Marvin Vettori Brawl After PFL Event; Dana White Chimes In

Brawl erupted between to UFC fighters at PFL 8 Main Event

Tensions ran high in Hollywood, Florida, after Friday night’s PFL 8 event, leading to an unexpected clash between UFC middleweights Brendan Allen and Marvin Vettori. What started as a routine post-fight gathering at a local casino quickly escalated into a physical altercation, drawing attention across the MMA community.

According to reports from Alex Behunin, the incident began when Marvin Vettori, a former UFC title contender, allegedly attacked fellow fighter Tuco Tokkos. The scuffle quickly intensified, with Brendan Allen stepping in and landing two punches on Vettori. The exact details remain murky, but it’s clear that tempers flared in a big way.

Vettori took to Instagram shortly after the incident, posting a cryptic message that read,

“One-armed Vettori is unbeaten. Ain’t never missing shit.”

The post left fans and followers speculating about the nature of the brawl and Vettori’s state of mind following the confrontation.

UFC President Dana White, never one to shy away from commenting on fighter drama, offered his brief thoughts on the matter via X (formerly Twitter).

“Had to be fight of the night if it was at PFL,” White quipped, acknowledging the intensity of the unsanctioned scrap.

Brendan Allen, currently riding a seven-fight win streak, is focused on his upcoming bout against Nassourdine Imavov at UFC Paris on September 28. With a record of 24-5, Allen has become a formidable force in the middleweight division, and his recent altercation with Vettori only adds to the intrigue surrounding his next fight.

Marvin Vettori, on the other hand, has experienced a mixed run since his 2021 title challenge against Israel Adesanya. With a record of 19-6-1, Vettori has secured decision wins over Paulo Costa and Roman Dolidze but suffered losses to Robert Whittaker and Jared Cannonier. As of now, Vettori has yet to announce his next opponent inside the octagon, leaving fans wondering how this latest incident might impact his career trajectory.

The unexpected brawl between Allen and Vettori adds another layer of drama to an already eventful night in the MMA world. As the dust settles, all eyes will be on how both fighters respond, both inside and outside the cage.
