Fans attending UFC 302 in Newark, New Jersey, witnessed an unexpected brawl in the stands, resulting in one man being thrown down several rows of seats. The altercation, captured on video, shows two men arguing at the Prudential Center during the event. The cause of the argument remains unclear, but the man seated higher up appeared to provoke the other by repeatedly saying, "slap me." Alleged video of the incident was posted to social media:

Tensions escalated when the man from the higher row got in the face of the man below, prompting a punch. This initial strike caused the lower-seated man to lose his footing and fall, but he quickly recovered and continued the fight. The confrontation intensified, with the man above eventually taking a punch to the jaw and falling forward. Using the momentum, the man below pushed him down a few more rows and continued to punch him repeatedly.

The video concludes with the lower-seated man falling over a railing and landing on the concourse below.
