The unidentified man approached and shoved the bemused Topuria, who at first did not react to the insult. The 25-year-old, however, replied after being shoved a second time and having a man approach closer to him.

Topuria landed three blows.
Topuria appeared to force the man into a wall after grabbing him by his shirt. Before being removed from the man, the hard-hitting featherweight appeared to land three blows. When Topuria went after the provocateur, there was an uproar, bodies and tables flying everywhere.
The duration of the altercation is uncertain because the video ended just as Topuria was being removed from the man. Topuria’s suspected involvement in the altercation occurs during a challenging week for mixed martial arts.

Dana White, the head of the UFC, was seen on camera on Monday slapping his wife Anne in a Mexican nightclub after getting struck himself. “There is never, ever a justification for a person to put his hands on a lady,” White said in an apology for his behaviour.”
He further said that they have three children, and ever since the video surfaced, they are more focused on our family. People will have opinions about this, and those opinions would be valid, particularly in his situation. He went on to urge every male not to put hands on a woman ever. Additionally, it was revealed on Tuesday that former UFC fighter Phil Baroni had been detained in Mexico on charges related to the murder of his fiancée.
