Following 2024 PFL Playoffs 2, UFC fighters [autotag]Brendan Allen[/autotag] and [autotag]Marvin Vettori[/autotag] had a brawl of their own on a casino floor, which prompted a social media response from UFC CEO [autotag]Dana White[/autotag].

The PFL event took place Friday at Hard Rock Live, a venue inside the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Hollywood, Fla. After the event, the bad blood between the UFC middleweights boiled over when they crossed paths on the casino floor, and punches were thrown in front of a crowd of onlookers.

Multiple videos of the incident have been posted on social media, which show Allen (24-5 MMA, 12-2 UFC) and Vettori (19-6-1 MMA, 9-5-1 UFC) getting physical:

According to a report from MMA Mania's Alex Behunin, Vettori threw a punch at UFC light heavyweight Tuco Tokkos, but missed. Allen then stepped up and began throwing punches at Vettori.

Shortly after, Vettori posted a selfie video to his Instagram Stories, showing off his face with no damage from the brawl. He also posted a quote that read, "One armed Vettori is unbeaten. Ain't never missing sh*t."

Word of the incident got around to UFC CEO White, who quipped a reply on X.

"had to be fight of the night if it was at PFL," White wrote.

Allen and Vettori have had multiple interactions in the past, and were scheduled to fight at UFC Fight Night 240 in April, but Vettori withdrew due to injury. Allen would go on to defeat Chris Curtis who stepped up on short notice.

After the fight, Allen went off on Vettori, who criticized the performance. Allen also revealed he previously confronted his once-scheduled opponent in person over statements made on social media, but said Vettori "stepped behind someone."
