Fans present at Mercedes-Benz Stadium got an opportunity to witness UFC-like moments in between an NFL game. Tempers flared between two supporters as the Atlanta Falcons beat the New Orleans Saints.
A fan of the Atlanta Falcons and a fan of the New Orleans Saints got into a heated clash which resulted in the former taking multiple hits from the latter before brawling on top of the row on which they were seated. The fight broke out in the top seats of the Mercedes-Benz Stadium.
While the exact cause for the altercation remains unknown, it is likely to have been caused due to relentless taunting from one fan to another. A shirtless fan got into it with another man wearing a wife-beater.
Things escalated quickly as the latter took a swing at him. This was when another fan in a Falcons jersey was attempting to hold off the shirtless fan, but he became a victim in the crossfire and ended up taking a hit from the other man.

Two fights broke out at Falcons-Saints game
A woman can be seen recording the entire altercation and helplessly attempting to hold the man off. Things turned violent pretty quickly as the fan ended up ripping off the attacker’s wife-beater.
The duo practically fell on top of their seats and were fighting until bystanders were compelled to get involved and pick them off each other.
So far there is no news of any arrests being made or the individuals involved in the fight having to receive medical attention. Shockingly enough, this was not the only fight that broke out at Mercedes-Benz Stadium yesterday. In another section of the seats, two men got into it over an argument on seats.

A fan wearing a No. 11 Falcons jersey attempted to beat up another individual in a red shirt. He kicked him onto the ground which seemed to have knocked him out cold.
But this did not stop him as he continued to kick his opponent’s head repeatedly. Fans getting into altercations is nothing new but to see two violent fights break out in the same venue was surprising.
The Falcons-Saints matchup came down to the wire. Both Kirk Cousins and Derek Carr had disappointing performances as the former threw for 238 yards and one interception while the latter threw for 239 yards and one interception.
In the final minute of the game, Cousins and the Falcons’ fate relied on kicker Younhoe Koo‘s leg. With less than two seconds to go, Koo ended up converting a 58-yard field goal, the longest of his career, and won the game for the home team.
