A fan has been punched in Las Vegas by a supposed member of Aljamain Sterling’s team.
Sterling suffered a defeat to Russia’s Movsar Evloev at UFC 310 on Saturday night, which led to fans hurling abuse at his coaching team.
Current bantamweight champion Merab Dvalishvili, who was cornering Sterling during his prelims bout, was escorted out of the T-Mobile Arena by security following the incident.
However, it was another member of Sterling’s who threw punches at a fan, seemingly provoked by something the fan said that got under the coach’s skin.
This is not the first time that Dvalishvili has been involved in an altercation with a fan at a UFC event.
Earlier this year, the UFC bantamweight champion jumped into the stands to confront a heckler during another UFC event.
UFC 310 also witnessed Bryce Mitchell knockout Kron Gracie with brutal elbows on the main card, while Vicente Luque secured the fastest anaconda submission victory in 52 seconds against Themba Gorimbo.
