A chaotic scene unfolded at the UFC Fight Night in Mexico City over the weekend as a massive brawl broke out among spectators in the stands. Video footage captured the intense altercation, showing one fan being knocked out cold during the scuffle.

The fight, which took place in Arena CDMX, saw several fans throwing punches at each other with no signs of security intervention. UFC President Dana White expressed astonishment at the length of the brawl, stating that it felt like it lasted forever and that security did not step in to stop it until it was over.

Despite the unusual incident, White does not believe it reflects poorly on the UFC brand, attributing the lack of repeat fights to the intensity of the initial brawl. Mexican fighters Brandon Moreno and Yair Rodriguez were part of the co-main event, where Rodriguez was defeated by Brian Ortega, and Moreno fell to Brandon Royval by split decision after five rounds.

The event showcased a mix of thrilling fights inside the octagon and unexpected drama in the stands, leaving spectators and officials alike surprised by the events that transpired during the UFC Fight Night in Mexico City.
