UFC star Ilia Topuria allegedly in bar brawl as man shoves him while he plays piano with Spanish singer Omar Montes

UFC featherweight contender Ilia Topuria was allegedly involved in a mass bar brawl in Spain.

On Wednesday, footage of a man alleged to be the Georgian-born Spaniard striking a fellow punter after being provoked began to circulate on Twitter.

Topuria was seen playing what appeared to be a retro arcade game alongside Spanish singer Omar Montes when a man angrily confronted him.

The unknown man came up and pushed a perplexed Topuria, who initially refrained from responding to the provocation.

But after being pushed a second time and having the man step towards him again, the 25-year-old reacted.

Topuria appeared to grab the man by his clothing and push him against a wall.

And the hard-hitting featherweight seemingly unloaded three punches before being pulled off the bloke.

Chaos ensued when Topuria pursued the provocateur, with tables and bodies flying everywhere.

It’s unknown how long the brawl went on for as the video ended shortly after Topuria was pulled off the man.

Topuria’s alleged involvement in the brawl comes amid a dark week for the sport of mixed martial arts.

On Monday, footage of UFC president Dana White slapping his wife Anne in a Mexican nightclub after being struck himself was released by TMZ.

White apologised for his actions, saying: “I am one of the guys who says there is never, ever an excuse for a guy to put his hands on a woman and now here I am on TMZ talking about it.

“This is one of those situations that is horrible. I am embarrassed.

“We have three kids and since the video popped up, we have shown the kids and we are more focused on our family right now.

“People are going to have their opinions on this and people’s opinions would be right, especially in my case. You don’t put your hands on a woman, ever.”

And on Tuesday, it was reported that former UFC fighter Phil Baroni had been arrested in Mexico on suspicion of killing his girlfriend.

MMA’s top promotion will resume action a week on Saturday, with a middleweight showdown between Nassouride Imaov and Kelvin Gastelum headlining UFC Vegas 67 at the Apex.
