It seems that controversy has been following “Notorious” recently.

After the ceremony, McGregor spoke with Entertainment Tonight and denied being involved in an altercation when asked about what happened. Kelly — real name Colson Baker — has yet to express his thoughts on the matter publicly.
“I don’t know,” McGregor stated. “I just showed up, and I don’t know. I don’t even know the guy, to be honest with you—just rumors. Nothing happened to me. I only fight real fighters. People that actually fight. I certainly don’t fight little Vanilla Ice white rappers. I don’t even know the guy. I don’t know anything about him, except that he’s with Megan Fox.”
McGregor (22-6, 10-4 UFC) is still recovering after suffering a broken leg and dropping a TKO vic-tory to Dustin Poirier in the UFC 264 headliner. The 33-year-old Dubliner is 1-3 in his latest Octa-gon appearances as he only stopped Donald Cerrone with a head kick followed by punches at UFC 246 but tapped to a neck crank at the hands of Khabib Nurmagomedov at UFC 229 before losing back-to-back fights to Poirier. The SBG Ireland standout has not yet indicated a time for his cage return.
