Pictures and videos of the incident have been shared online but nobody really knows what happened.

According to TMZ's sources, it all started when Conor asked MGK for a photo and he declined.
The insider alleged the rapper pushed the Irishman back, causing him to spill his drink.
In anger, Conor allegedly took his drink and flung its contents at the 31-year-old.

Conor speaks out
When asked backstage what happened, Conor told ET, "Absolutely nothing. I don't know..."
"Nothing happened with me, I only fight real fighters, people that actually fight, you know what I mean."
He added, "I certainly don't fight little vanilla boy rappers. I don't even know the guy. I don't know anything about him, except that he's with Megan Fox."

Machine Gun Kelly was asked the same question in an interview with Variety on the red carpet and he refused to answer.
Instead, he smacked the mic out of the way and walked on.
