VIDEO: Insane UFC 289 Crowd Brawl, Followed By Fight Outside The Arena
It appears the fighters weren't the only ones who got to have all the fun at UFC 289 this past weekend.
UFC 289 was held inside Rogers Arena in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. The pay-per-view event was headlined by a UFC Women's Bantamweight Championship bout between titleholder Amanda Nunes and Irene Aldana. Nunes cruised to a dominant unanimous decision victory, and she announced her retirement from pro MMA competition.

The event also saw Charles Oliveira potentially punch his ticket to a rematch with UFC Lightweight Champion Islam Makhachev. Oliveira starched Beneil Dariush for a first-round TKO finish in the co-main event of UFC 289.

Some fans got a little more than they bargained for at UFC 289, however. There was, of course, the railing collapse that sent a bunch of fans tumbling down during Mike Malott's entrance. Disaster was avoided as there were no major injuries reported.
Then, there was the crowd brawl. Twitter user "Mayne," posted video of the incident and the poster was seen in the video, wise enough to secure some drinks and keep it moving.
There's another angle of the wild scene in Rogers Arena while the brawl was taking place.
The same Twitter user who posted the second crowd angle, "@UFC_Obsessed," also uploaded video of a crowd fight outside the venue of UFC 289. You can watch both videos below:
It appears everyone was in a fighting mood this past weekend. One night after UFC 289, Floyd Mayweather and John Gotti III did battle inside the FLA Live Arena in Sunrise, Florida. What was supposed to be a fun exhibition, turned in to a wild brawl between the Mayweather and Gotti camps.
