The unscheduled bout took place shortly after the two watched Friday’s Professional Fighters League (PFL) match in the casino\u2019s Hard Rock Live arena.<\/p>\n

Vettori, 30, of Italy, initially attempted to punch UFC light heavyweight Tuco Tokkos, according to a report from MMA Mania<\/em>. Allen, 28, of South Carolina, and Vettori then got into a struggle and repeatedly threw punches, including a few blows to each other’s face.<\/p>\n

Fell Onto Roulette Table<\/h2>\n

At one point, Vettori appears to have fallen onto a roulette<\/a> table, according to news reports.<\/p>\n

The violent outburst attracted a large crowd of onlookers, many of whom recorded the exchange on their cell phone cameras.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Neither of the fighters suffered significant injuries, according to news reports, and no arrests were made.<\/p>\n

Here’s one summary of the night\u2019s incident.<\/p>\n

Vettori tried to swing at Tuco Tokkos and missed. Michael Johnson then moved everyone out of the way and then Brendan Allen stepped in and hit Vettori with a 1-2, which made him fall into a roulette table,\u201d MMA Mania<\/em> reported.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The fight later was commented on by Las Vegas-based UFC CEO Dana White<\/a>, who said on X, it \u201chad to be [the] fight of the night if it was at PFL.\u201d<\/p>\n

Later on Friday night, Vettori said in a social media post, \u201cOne armed Vettori is unbeaten. Ain\u2019t never missing s**t.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cBasically he gets popped right on the spot then hide behind his guys get popped again in the chaos then 10 people in between and I think its over they let him he rushes me get caught again in the end All of this one armed Proper sucker,\u201d Vettori added.<\/p>\n

Prior Bout Canceled<\/h2>\n

Allen and Vettori had been scheduled to fight at April\u2019s UFC 240 before Vettori suffered an injury<\/a> and had to cancel, MMA Junkie<\/em> reported.<\/p>\n

Instead of fighting Vettori, Allen fought Chris Curtis. Allen won by a split decision.<\/p>\n

Vettori decided to lambast him in a social media post.<\/p>\n

“Allen wtf u calling for the title man you look like dog s**t got rocked every single round and prayed you were getting the takedown just to hang in there. That s**t was embarrassing.”<\/p>\n
