Security camera footage showed that the Georgian fighter was offended by a stranger’s actions which led to the brawl.

A trained fighter is the last person you want to pick a fight with at a bar. From what is shown in the security footage, it appears that the stranger was the one who was the instigator. Topuria went on to take the violent route.

Ilia Topuria is coming off a dominating win against the undefeated Bryce Mitchell at UFC 282. “El Matador” is currently undefeated in his professional career with a record of 13-0. Doesn’t look like it’s a good idea to put UFC shows on halt given the kinds of trouble the community is getting into.
