Video footage has surfaced of Brendan Allen throwing heavy shots at Marvin Vettori as a brawl in public ensued.

‘All In’ has looked sensational of late, winning each of his last seven outings as he pushes toward a top 5 spot in the middleweight division. One man ahead of him in the rankings is Italy native Vettori — and it seems the two don’t like one another.

During PFL 8: 2024 Playoffs on Friday evening, Brendan Allen and Marvin Vettori were caught on camera trading blows. The video shows Allen unleashing an arsenal of shots toward Vettori, causing him to crash into a roulette table. Vettori tried to return fire before the brawl was broken up and security de-escalated the situation.

Following the altercation, more information came to light. According to reports, Marvin Vettori attempted to hit Tuco Tokkos but missed. 

Tokkos is a fellow Kill Cliff member alongside Brendan Allen. Allen didn’t take too kindly to Vettori’s actions, which ultimately led to the brawl pictured above.

“Okay, here’s an update to the Brendan Allen/Marvin Vettori brawl at PFL, per numerous sources.”

“After PFL, 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.”

Vettori and Allen were booked to fight earlier this year. They were originally expected to headline a UFC Fight Night at the Apex on April 6, but when ‘The Italian Dream’ was forced to withdraw, Chris Curtis took his place.

The brawl at the PFL event caught the attention of UFC CEO Dana White, who hilariously took his opportunity to mock the rival promotion.

“Had to be fight of the night if it was at PFL.”

Brendan Allen and Marvin Vettori got into an all-out fist fight last night (Fri., Aug. 16, 2024) while in attendance for PFL Hollywood from inside Hard Rock Casino in Hollywood, Casino.

Friday night also saw UFC bantamweight contender Merab Dvalishvili confront a heckler in the stands at the Craig Jones Invitational in Las Vegas, Nevada, and nearly take his head off. All the way across the country, UFC middleweights were locking horns on a casino floor outside of PFL Hollywood.

Allen and Vettori were scheduled to fight at UFC Vegas 90 back in April, but Vettori withdrew due to injury and was replaced by Chris Curtis. That didn’t stop Allen from capturing a dominant decision over Curtis to extend his current UFC win streak to seven, but the bad blood with Vettori did not go away.

Outside of PFL Hollywood, Vettori reportedly approached Allen’s teammate, Tuco Tokkos, and tried to swing on him. That’s when Allen stepped in, decided to take matters into his own hands, and rushed Vettori into a roulette table. The two quickly started to throw heavy punches as the crowded casino floor broke out in commotion. It was a wild scene to say the last and an exchange that seemed to favor Allen.

Check out the melee below:

After the incident, UFC CEO, Dana White, took to social media to throw some shade at PFL. White suggested that the brawl between Allen and Vettori must have been Fight of the Night since it was at a PFL event. Check it out below:

“Had to be fight of the night if it was at PFL.”
