Machine Gun Kelly got into a confrontation with UFC fighter Sean Strickland who went on to call the rapper a “weirdo.”
Strickland, who recently lost his UFC Middleweight Championship, was attending a Power Slap event in Las Vegas when a video captured him confronting MGK, though only parts of the tense exchange can be heard.

In the clip, Strickland can be heard calling Kelly a “weirdo” and mocking him by saying: “I don’t know who the fuck that guy is. I’m easy to find, vampire man.”
Strickland then began trolling Kelly on social media, writing: “I almost hit a vampire tonight… lol! They said his name is machine gun kelly.. How do you have a dope ass name and dress like a 13 goth south park character?!?”
He then made reference to his high-profile relationship with Megan Fox: “You guys what the fuck is going on………. Transformers Megan Fox is with that thing….. what the actual fuck has happened to the world?! What did I miss? Is she OK? Is this man the devil? @meganfox are you ok? Do you need assistance?!”
Strickland added: “Someone said ‘Be careful MGK doesn’t like when you make fun of Megan’ What does that even mean? Do I need to glue wood chips in hollow points? Do I need to carry a crossbow? Buy a wooden stake? Is this how I become the new blade?!?!”

Machin Gun Kelly has yet to comment on the confrontation or Strickland’s posts.
UFC president Dana White did address the incident, commenting: “You can’t bring Sean Strickland around any other human beings. You know what I mean? It has nothing to do with Machine Gun Kelly. It’s about humans.”

MGK recently had another awkward encounter at a different sporting event. The Cleveland native was in attendance at the Brazilian Grand Prix in November when he was approached for an interview by British broadcaster Martin Brundle.
The two had a difficult rapport with MGK at one point asking Brundle to do an “air piano and air guitar collaboration right now,” which seemed to only confuse the TV host.

Kelly also revealed during the conversation that former Formula 1 champion Lewis Hamilton had been recording in the same studio as him.
