- Brendan Allen and Marvin Vettori engaged in a fist fight in a casino after a PFL event
- UFC president Dana White commented on the brawl
UFC president Dana White took the opportunity to slight PFL in his epic reaction to Brendan Allen and Marvin Vettori’s casino brawl outside PFL 8 in Hollywood.
Two UFC contenders fought at a PFL event
Allen and Vettori crossed paths in a casino shortly after being in attendance at PFL Hollywood. Reports stated that Vettori attacked one of Allen’s teammates and MMA fighter Tuco Tokkos. Moments later, “All In” charged at “The Italian Dream” and started swinging.
In the video clips now circulating online, Allen could be seen successfully landing a couple of punches at Vettori and the fist fight resulted in a commotion in the place.

What the UFC boss said
It didn’t take long before White learned about the Allen-Vettori brawl. On a post on X, the UFC boss dropped a bold comment which was evidently a shot at PFL.
“Had to be fight of the night if it was at PFL,” White wrote.

On an Instagram story, Vettori suggested that the fight wasn’t fair as he has an arm injury, saying, “One armed Vettori is unbeaten. Ain’t never missing sh*t.”
Allen and Vettori were booked for a showdown at UFC Vegas 90 back in April but “The Italian Dream” was prompted to pull out of the card due to an injury. Apparently, the bad blood between the two is real and has yet to subside.
As it stands, Allen is currently ranked No. 7 on the official middleweight rankings. On the other hand, Vettori is just a spot ahead at No. 6.
Allen is scheduled to face Nassourdine Imavov at UFC Fight Night 243.
