with

was
alone
during

and
was
greeting
some
of
his
fans.
Sources
at
the
scene
claimed
that
the
physical
altercation
after
Kelly
denied
a
photo
op
with
the
famed
fighter.
While
it
is
unclear
why
MGK
denied
taking
pictures,
things
reportedly
went
downhill
from
there.
Despite

swings,
he
was
being
held
back
by

throughout

It
didn't
look
like
